Great, that helps.  although my cups doesn't support restart (?) just  
-F -f flags for foreground/background.  Mayeb it will listen to a  
SIGHUP or something.  I just rebooted, I needed to do that for  
something else anyway.

well, in my pkgsrc: ( cobalt -current)

foomatic-filters won't build, the mpage component breaks

===> Building for mpage-2.5
cc -O2 -O2 -s -DPAGE_DEF= -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/pkg/share/mpage\" -

And I don't see foomatic-filters-cups as a standalone item in pkgsrc/ 
print, but I do have a foomatic component (many of them) in gimp- 
print-cups:

$locate foomatic | less

/usr/pkgsrc/print/gimp-print-cups/work/gimp-print-4.2.7/src/foomatic/ 
foomatic-templates-ijs/ImageType.xml

I'll bang away at it for a while.  Thanks for the reply!
