Dear list,

I'm currently switching to FreeBSD. Most things are going very well but  
every now and then I hit something which I can't solve on my own. I had  
managed to configure CUPS correctly and print with it but - if I'm correct  
this is the thing to do if you want to use modern printers rather than  
writing filters for lpr - but now the configuration is slightly incorrect  
and I'm getting the following message

lpd[408]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory

I know this means that the wrong device (/dev/lp as opposed to /dev/lpt0)  
has been specified and as a result the service won't start but I haven't  
been able to find the offending file.

Thanks for any pointers

Charlie Clark
