Hi, I am new to FreeBSD and relatively new to *nix and need some help before I pull all my hair out. I have followed a few howto and been at it for a few days with no luck.
Here is my problem:
I installed FreeBSD 8 base, Xorg, gnome2 and cups (fresh install).
After setting up my printer I did a print test and everything worked (printer shows up in system-config-printer as well). My problem is this, the printer does not seem to show up in any application printer dialogs (File->Print) when I try and print. The only printer that shows up is LPR (which I dont have the daemon running).
My Ubuntu box even picks up the printer from my FreeBSD CUPS (I shared it) in the application print dialog box.
I know for sure the driver is working because I can print to the cups server (FreeBSD box) from other machines, just cannot seem to print locally (except print test) because I have no printer to select.
Is there another daemon or something that needs to be running so X applications see the cups printers?
Any help would be great.
