I think this requires recompiling the kernel. Also, remember that lpd has lp* files (in /usr/bin/ ?) that may conflict with CUPS files of the same name in /usr/local/bin/. Did you rename/move the lpd versions? I struggled with cups and hplip for weeks. PCBSD seems to have these things working well; but for my FreeBSD server, I've switched from an HP printer to a used postscript Okidata. Best of luck, Andrew
