Hello,

Am moving my primary workstation from Red Hat Linux 9 to OBSD 3.9 (on
i586 system). Task almost completed. One *big* problem remains.
Installed pkg cups-1.1.23p8. Will *not* print. Job appears in spool
directory, and error file in /var/log/cups shows the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I [07/Sep/2006:10:26:44 -0700] Hint: Do you have ESP Ghostscript installed?
D [07/Sep/2006:10:26:44 -0700] CancelJob: id = 10
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The hint about ESP Ghostscript is clearly the key. I have installed the
usual GNU GhostScript packages (ghostscript-7.05p7, and
ghostscript-fonts-6.0p0 plus ggv-2.8.3p1). Yet, connection between CUPS
and GhostScript appears to be missing.

Is ESP GhostScript a dependency? If yes, i tried to compile the most
recent version of ESP GhostScript from a tar ball, but it failed on some
trivial make step.

This is a very vexing problem that i need to fix soon before i can
actually use the workstation. Please help!

From your symptoms, it *might* be possible that you forgot to run
/usr/local/sbin/cups-enable, as described in the installation message?
That replaces openbsd lpd with cups lpd.

I ran that script as root as required. Running it again gives:
$ sudo /usr/local/sbin/cups-enable
This script will replace OpenBSD lpd with CUPS

Are you sure you want to do this (y/[n])? y

lpd already preserved, not saving old files.

Creating soft links for binaries:
/usr/bin/lpq -> /usr/local/bin/lpq
/usr/bin/lpr -> /usr/local/bin/lpr
/usr/bin/lprm -> /usr/local/bin/lprm
/usr/sbin/lpc -> /usr/local/sbin/lpc
done.

The above shows that the script was already executed properly.
