Hello,

I have FreeBSD 4.10 on my laptop. I have installed the following
/var/db/pkg/cups-1.1.20.0
/var/db/pkg/cups-base-1.1.20.0
/var/db/pkg/cups-lpr-1.1.20.0
/var/db/pkg/cups-pstoraster-7.07_1
/var/db/pkg/ghostscript-gnu-7.07_11
/var/db/pkg/gimp-print-4.2.7

This is my PATH
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/bhorne/bin:/home/bhorne/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin

I have a HP 4050 laserjet with a jetdirect 600n. I downloaded the HP_LaserJet_4050_Series.ppd. I installed it to /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/ I did a reload and restart of cups. I then added the printer through the webinterface AppSocket/HP JetDirect then socket://hostname .
HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS
Description:
Location:
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
"Ready to print."
Device URI: socket://10.0.0.115:9100/

I did a test print and all was wonderful. However I then went to print an email from mozilla -mail and got nothing. I received a error
lpr: lp: unknown printer
I was asked to add cups-lpr , however it was already installed.
I added the printer under this heading
HP LaserJet 4050 Series PS
Description:
Location:
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs.
"Data file sent successfully"
Device URI: lpd://10.0.0.115:515/queue

I now have both those setings in the web interface and I can print test pages from the web interface. However I cannot print webpages or emails.
I went to /var/log/lpd-errs and it is completly blank. There is no /var/log/cups/ so there is nothing to see there.

So my basic questions is how do I print anything other than test pages?

Sincerely,
Brendhan
