Jeremy:

 I suppose this is set in /etc/mk.conf? If so will this setting prevent
the traditional Berkeley print system form being compiled? If the
traditional print system is not built, then there will be no
printer entries in /usr/bin and the CUPS commands in /usr/pkg/bin will be
used.
I looked in /usr/pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk and the only thing I saw
pertaining to CUPS were these two entries. I did not see anything similar to
FreeBSD's make.conf entry:  NO_LPR=true #do not build lpr and related...

CUPS_GROUP?=    sys
# Used in cups to specify the group to run CUPS commands as.
# Possible: any group name
# Default: sys

CUPS_USER?=     lp
# Used in cups to specify the user to run CUPS commands as and to create
# temporary files in the /var/spool/cups/tmp directory.
# Possible: any user name
# Default: lp

Kind regards,
Jonathan
