I just can't win for losing where BSD is concerened:
gateway# whoami
root
gateway# foomatic-configure -s cups -n DeskJet_682C -c file:/dev/lpt0 -p
HP-DeskJet_682C -d hpijs -o PageSize=A4
Cannot write /etc/cups/ppd/DeskJet_682C.ppd!
gateway# ls -al /etc/cups
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 16 12:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root wheel 2048 Sep 16 11:51 ..

gateway# mkdir /etc/cups/ppd
gateway# foomatic-configure -s cups -n DeskJet_682C -c file:/dev/lpt0 -p

Could not set up/change the queue "DeskJet_682C"!
What do I have to do to install/use HPIJS without devoting my life to
becoming a FreeBSD+CUPS expert?! (Setting up CUPS+foomatic+HPIJS was a
breeze under Gentoo!)
