I have a short recipe at http://www.stilyagin.com/darrin/blog/2007/05/16/2200/ describing what I did last time. Note that it's over a year old and that it's specific to my printer, so you will need to adjust as needed. -- Darrin Chandler| Phoenix BSD User Group | MetaBUG [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://phxbug.org/ | http://metabug.org/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ | Daemons in the Desert | Global BUG Federation

Does CUPS depend on X?! [oB newbie]
Greetings, while trying to install CUPS i got this message: bash-3.2# pkg_add cups-1.2.7p9 Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found X11.11.1 Dependencies for ghostscript-8.60 resolve to: libiconv-1.9.2p5, ghostscript-fonts-8.11p0, jpeg-6bp3, png-1.2.22, ijs-0.35 Full dependency tree is libiconv-1.9.2p5,ghostscript-fonts-8.11p0,jpeg-6bp3,png-1.2.22,ijs-0.35 Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found Xext.10.0 Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found Xt.10.0 Can't install foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1: can't resolve ghostscript-8.60 Can't install cups-1.2.7p9: can't resolve foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1 I don't have nor want to have X installed. Since it apparently depends on ghostscript-8.60 i tried installing ghostscript-8.60-no_x11, which gave me this: bash-3.2# pkg_add ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups Can't install ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups: can't resolve cups-1.2.7p9 Can't install foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1: can't resolve ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups Can't install cups-1.2.7p9: can't resolve foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1 Can't install ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups: can't resolve cups-1.2.7p9 Which, AFAIK, is a circle.dependency... So... how do i install CUPS without X? And then how would i configure it to work properly instead of wasting paper with ascii "art"? CUPS seems to be great software but crazy to set up... especially without a GUI ;-) Before you ask, i don't want X 'cos it's too heavy and i'm running oB on an old laptop with 32RAM which i intend to use as print and ftp server only. Well and maybe XDMCP. Thanks. -- Nuno MagalhC#es
