Printer Installation

[herbert langhans]

Ah, BSD you use..
 
its likely that /usr/bin/lp what you invoke is the wrong one (there is the path set to it). If you have installed the cups-port, there will be another lp -- /usr/local/bin/lp -- the one cups uses (compare the filesize).

Rename /usr/bin/lp to /usr/bin/lp.backup so it will not use this one and then try again, invoking lp should take /usr/local/bin/lp then. 

Cheers
herbs
