HI, I've never actually tried to install cups before and last night decided to give it a try because I was not having much success getting my printer working using the handbook directions. (I got it all setup correctly, obviously something is incorrect but stay with me, and although I could get stuff to print when I did 'cat <somefile> > /dev/lp0' I couldn't get anything to print when I submitted to lpd.)
So, I installed cups from ports, and setup my HP LaserJet 4+. All seemed to go well. At first I had a problem with an error, something like "unknown application/postscript." Anyway, some digging on the internet revealed that I needed ESP Ghostscript installed. So, I got that and that error went away. Now, however, I still cannot get it to print. When I try to submit the printer test page from the web management interface, it says, "network host 'sniper' busy: will retry in X seconds." The URI I'm using for my printer is, lpd://sniper/lj4. The printer is connected to my parallel port and I think this is what I want because the other options are whatever it is that cups calls JetDirect and then IPP and something else. Anyway, if someone could please point me in the correct direction I'd appreciate it greatly.
