Thanks Roderick: I got to this instruction in the CUPS Readme: *** WARNING *** ulpt(4) needs to be disabled in the kernel (see config(8)) or the printer will not be available to libusb. I read the manpage for config (8) and I can't seem to find the appropriate configuration file in /usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile. I'll have to read up on compiling the kernel and modifying it's configuration file. Once again thanks for all the generous help form you guys. Regards, Jonathan
