CUPS, Network Printing

Hello,

Since my latest CUPS problem has nothing to do with the thread it was  
mentioned in (CUPS, USB printers & "Permission Denied"), I wanted to  
restate the problem and give some additional information.

When I try to print to my printer through the network via my MacBook  
Pro (which worked before), I get the message in the CUPS Web  
Interface (or through lpstat):

"/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip failed"

Basically, I have the same problem reported in the thread "Can't  
print to CUPS from Macintosh".

I have successfully printed locally on the server with the root user  
and my normal user account. I have the same account name on my  
MacBook Pro when I tried to print. Attached to this email is the log  
(with only the pertinent events shown). It shows the 2 successful  
print jobs as well as the unsuccessful one.

Does anyone have any ideas? The FreeBSD community has my appreciation  
for all of its help on this matter.

-Anthony
