CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) This makes it easy to add printers to your system and programs such as firefox will pick up the printer list automatically.

Installing CUPS
# pkg_add -r cups
or
# cd /usr/ports/print/cups # make install clean
CUPS to PDF
CUPS can also be used to print directly from any program to a PDF file.
# pkg_add -r cups-pdf
CUPS mimics lpr
If you have old programs which use lpr to print then you should install CUPS-lpr
# pkg_add -r cups-lpr
CUPS and Gnome Warning
I've installed CUPS on a few machines and found everytime I do I cannot print though any gnome based application. If you like to use gnome applications to print your work, don't install CUPS just use LPD.
programs which crashed right out when printing were: gedit, abiword, gnumeric, inkscape.
Error you will get
(gdb) run Starting program: /usr/X11R6/bin/gnumeric
Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error. [Switching to Thread 3 (LWP 100326)] 0x29dfd450 in ippWriteIO (dst=0x8542000, cb=0x29dfa3bc <httpWrite>,
