@wallabybob:
You started cupsd?
( ps ax | grep cups)
No, cupsd does not start for some reason, don't know why.
I followed the configuration guide, but every time the computer starts, the /etc/rc.conf file is missing.
3 Configuring the CUPS Print Server
After installation, a few files must edited in order to configure the CUPS server. First, create or modify, as the case may be, the file /etc/devfs.rules and add the following information to set the proper permissions on all potential printer devices and to associate printers with the cups user group:
[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups
Next, add two lines to /etc/rc.conf as follows:
cupsd_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="system"
These two entries will start the CUPS print server on boot and invoke the local devfs rule created above, respectively.
I created /etc/devfs.rules manually and added the lines mentioned in the quide above, but there is already a file called /etc/defaults/devfs.rules present in the system. Do I need to modify the latter accordingly and drop the one created by hand?
Should cups-base be pkg_add'ed as well?
(I am walking in the dark here…)

Thanks!
