Be sure you read the Makefile and a couple of other files because you will needo to tell /etc/make.conf to forever more not make the lp* stuff (that information is in man make.conf) because cups has its own version of the lp* items. Everytime you makeworld you'll wipe it out. If you do have it installed then you may want to uninstall it then reinstall a make world might have wiped it out. From there you should then be able to print. In a few words: Works for me. :) (Well sort of, having some sort of font/printer driver problem where certain fonts are squished together) HTH
