But getting Firefox to see CUPS printers... Well that was another thing. So here's a post to help me remember what I did, becuase it's not exactly intuitive--though it's still pretty easy. + +The first step, obviously, will be to install CUPS and start cupsd. + + # pkg_add cups + # rcctl enable cupsd + # rcctl start cups + +Then, go to `http://localhost:631`, and add your printer. Hopefully your printer is supported out of the box, because I'm not really sure what to do there if it's not. The HP LaserJetSeries PCL 4/5 driver is a pretty safe bet for any B/W printer, though. BTW, this is true of all operating systems, and actually a trick I learned from a Windows admin. Once the printer is added to CUPS, and you've verified that you can print to it (using `lp(1)`), install `gtk+3-cups`. + +That's it. I didn't even have to restart Firefox. I don't know why nobody has documented this weird little quirk, but there it is now. Good luck on your OpenBSD journey! + +~take it easy
