I have cups-pstoraster-7.07_3 and gimp-print-4.2.7_1. The settings for
gimp-print are still there, I can see them when I access cups via
http:/localhost:631.
I think I might have wiped out a necessary script when I used mergemaster
after my last upgrade. FreeBSD is very new to me so I took the defaults as
much as possible while running mergemaster. (I inadvertently wiped out all
my ordinary users. :-) Though I did catch my firewall! Live and learn.)
I also removed packages for the Gnome desktop which I initially installed but
decided I prefer to use KDE. Not all of them though, I saved those which
other packages seamed dependent on. Basicly I removed those packages which
did not upgrade and were not dependencies for other packages and were not
applications which I intended to use. I might have wiped out something
there.
Brain dead newbie question, is there a way to send a file to print via cups
through the command line? That might give me an error message to track.
Thanks
