I am posting to both Cups and FreeBSD lists because I Am not sure shich s= ide the problem exists. I am running the FReeBSD PAckage Cups-1.1.15.1 Which installs Ghostscript 7.05_3 as a dependancy. THe install went ok but nothing ever seems to wo= rk. I Was able to get things to work on a 4.7-Release system I used to have b= et never on 5.0-Release. I switched to 5.0-RELEASE back in January because = of a hardware compatibility issue so I cant go back to 4.7 anymore without buy= ing new hardware Here are the log entries that occur when I startup and try to print I [07/Apr/2003:18:54:13 -0400] Listening to 0:631 I [07/Apr/2003:18:54:13 -0400] Configured for up to 100 clients.

I [08/Apr/2003:10:24:00 -0400] Hint: Try setting the LogLevel to "debug". 12:31pm butters:/var/log/cups # NOw its telling me I dont have Ghostscript installed but the sysinstall program says I do. I even tried to install Ghostscript from the ports collectionand it refused saying Ghostscript was already installed. Same result when tried to install both Cups and Ghostscript from source downloaded from the easysw ftp site......No matter what I try I cant seem= to find a solution to this problem. Can someone help me. I am sure I have probably not provided enough information for anyone to help but just let me know what exactly I should check and report on. Or better yet is there a web site that has better troubleshooting docs that the ones on easysw web site? Is there anyone who is repsonsible for maintinaing and answering question= s for these packages? I have found email addresses of people in the ports collection but since IU am not currently running from the prots collecti= on I didnt think I should bother them about this. Thanks Jason
