Greetings,

while trying to install CUPS i got this message:

bash-3.2# pkg_add cups-1.2.7p9
Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found X11.11.1
Dependencies for ghostscript-8.60 resolve to: libiconv-1.9.2p5,
ghostscript-fonts-8.11p0, jpeg-6bp3, png-1.2.22, ijs-0.35
Full dependency tree is
libiconv-1.9.2p5,ghostscript-fonts-8.11p0,jpeg-6bp3,png-1.2.22,ijs-0.35
Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found Xext.10.0
Can't install ghostscript-8.60: lib not found Xt.10.0
Can't install foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1: can't resolve ghostscript-8.60
Can't install cups-1.2.7p9: can't resolve foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1

I don't have nor want to have X installed. Since it apparently depends
on ghostscript-8.60 i tried installing ghostscript-8.60-no_x11, which
gave me this:

bash-3.2# pkg_add ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups
Can't install ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups: can't resolve cups-1.2.7p9
Can't install foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1: can't resolve
ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups
Can't install cups-1.2.7p9: can't resolve foomatic-filters-3.0.2p1
Can't install ghostscript-8.60-no_x11-cups: can't resolve cups-1.2.7p9

Which, AFAIK, is a circle.dependency... So... how do i install CUPS without X?

And then how would i configure it to work properly instead of wasting
paper with ascii "art"? CUPS seems to be great software but crazy to
set up... especially without a GUI ;-) Before you ask, i don't want X
'cos it's too heavy and i'm running oB on an old laptop with 32RAM
which i intend to use as print and ftp server only. Well and maybe
XDMCP.

Thanks.
