If CUPS is going to serve as the
primary printing system, then one may choose to optionally add
certain knobs to /etc/make.conf
that will
emphasize CUPS over other printing
options. Some of these “knobs” that one may want to
add are:
The first knob, WITH_CUPS
, adds
CUPS support to ports where applicable.
The second knob, CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE
, will fix
certain symlinks and paths that would otherwise apply to the
default FreeBSD printing system, LPR, and
will prevent these fixes from being reverted upon the next
buildworld
system upgrade. The third
knob, WITHOUT_LPR
, will prevent
LPR support from being added to ports
where applicable.
