CUPS can be installed from ports or by using a precompiled binary package. To install CUPS from ports, issue the following command from a root terminal:
#
cd /usr/ports/print/cups && make install clean
To install CUPS using a precompiled binary, issue the following command from a root terminal:
#
pkg_add -r cups
Other optional, but recommended, ports or packages are
print/gutenprint-cups
and
print/hplip
, both of which add
drivers and utilities for a variety of printers. Once installed,
the CUPS configuration files can be
found in the directory
/usr/local/etc/cups
.
