I've been trying to find information on how to setup printer sharing so that I can print from a Mac to a FreeBSD machine on the same LAN.
Everything I find seems to revolve around the announcement for Rendezvous, but it's mostly PR and little actual information.
The question I can't seem to find an answer to is:
What's the easiest way to setup a printer (USB connected to FreeBSD) so I can print from a Mac to it?
(the FreeBSD machine has a static IP, if that helps)
Any help, including good pointers? I'm familiar with CUPS from Mac OS X so I'm going to try to explore that as a possibility.

I would recommend setting up the lpd daemon. This is supported by Mac OS X be default, so there's not a whole lot to setup. No Rendevous necessary.
