The install was actually quite painless and the CUPS system was picked automatically. The port is put together really well, thank you. If I could make one suggestion it would be that a Makefile.doc would be nice to have included in the top level directory. On my initial attempt at installation I read the Makefile but there was nothing in it that I recognized as telling me I needed to use WITH_CUPS or WITH_KDE. After I read the Makefile under files however all became clear. With those defines everything worked without a hitch the first time. So once again thanks and I hope my comment is useful. It is intended with nothing but a desire to help. Sincerely, --Duane P.S. Maho, my apologies for not attributing to you the patch I attached in my OP.
