It is a Postscript printer, which makes it EASY to support in CUPS. All I needed was a .ppd file, which Brother provided on a CD. You must be talking about a non-Postscript printer? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
