CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) This makes it easy to add printers to your system and programs such as firefox will pick up the printer list automatically.

Contents

Installing CUPS

# pkg_add -r cups

or

# cd /usr/ports/print/cups
# make install clean

CUPS to PDF

CUPS can also be used to print directly from any program to a PDF file.

# pkg_add -r cups-pdf


CUPS mimics lpr

If you have old programs which use lpr to print then you should install CUPS-lpr

# pkg_add -r cups-lpr
