There is no entry in /etc/rc.conf which I think is directly related to it. I have no idea where it came from and why it is running on my system. % ps ax | grep colord 932 - I 0:00,29 /usr/local/libexec/colord The command "colormgr get-devices" prints a list of entries related to printers installed on that system. I tried to find out more about it: % man colord No manual entry for colord % man colormgr No manual entry for colormgr Great. There's also nothing under /usr/local/share/doc which might answer this question. But at least the package description helps a little: "Manage color profiles to accurately color input/output devices", and from the dependency list I assume it has been introduced by CUPS. You know, for printing. In color. On my old b/w HP Laserjet 4000DN. ;-) So... when you have CUPS on your system, and colord is somehow related to printing, try setting cupsd_enable="YES" in /etc/rc.conf and see if it works - that's the only kind of connection I can find. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
