CUPS, one more try

I had just fixed it!

It looks like it's printing fine now, the only thing I had not done was to uninstall everything that had to do with printing, so I uninstalled apsfilter, CUPS, LPRng and hplip then reinstalled cups and hplip only and it worked.  It looks like LPRng and apsfilter conflicts with cups or I think it overwrites bin files like lp, lpr etc, I know that LPRng puts lp, lpr on the same directory as cups, pretty sure that caused the problem.

Take a look at:
 http://home.nyc.rr.com/computertaijutsu/cups.html
Go to the section on FreeBSD and NetBSD, this should help you out.

There are a number of suggestions here that I didn't give, sorry, I wanted to 
give you some help, not hand it to you on a platter.

Do a 'ps ax |grep cup' and make sure that you see 'cupsd'. If you don't, you 
will need to do a 'cupsd', recheck that you have cupsd running.

Go to http://localhost:631/admin (user would probably be root and password 
would be the root password. Configure printers from there.
