Hi all,
I've just got a Lexmark E350d USB printer, and I'm wondering what my options are when it comes to setting up the printer on FreeBSD. I've had it working flawlessly on Windows, and Linux (with CUPS + PPD), so I know it works and I'd like to stick with it.
Generally, I need to print lots of different formats (documents, spreadsheets, images, webpages, PDFs, etc), often very quickly, and preferably directly from various programs (libreoffice, firefox, xpdf, etc).
I'm not interested in a political discussion of CUPS vs LPD, I just need to know: Can I print all of the above with LPD, directly from my applications (Firefox for example), or will I need CUPS for that?
