Hi! I'm trying to get my FreeBSD computer to act as a print server. I'm not having much success though. I'm running 4.6.2-STABLE and I've installed cups-base-1.1.14 via /stand/sysinstall. I started cupsd manually with /usr/local/sbin/cupsd, and I can access the web interface at http://localhost:631/. There I added my HP Deskjet 970 CXi connected via USB successfully, and was able to print a test page from the web interface. However, I seem to be missing a lot of important files. I have almost none of the lp* binaries in /usr/sbin/. I.e. no lpstat, lpinfo, lpadmin, etc. All I have is: lp lpd lpr lptcontrol lpc lpq lprm lptest I tried printing from the command line using: $ echo "test" > testfile.txt $ lp -d Dozer testfile.txt lpr: Unable to connect to /var/run/printer: No such file or directory lpr: Check to see if the master 'lpd' process is running. jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. So I can't even print locally. Not much of a print server, is it? So my question is short and sweet: What's wrong?
