Have you installed Cups from packages or ports? If you head to=20
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, you should see a script to start cups. If it's called=
=20
cups.sh.sample or similair, move it to cups.sh. You can now start cups by=20
doing:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/cups.sh start

do a

ps aux | grep cups

to check that it is indeed running. After you've got the cups server runnin=
g,=20
you can configure it by going to http://localhost:631
