1. Start CUPS service by
# chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.cups
# /etc/rc.d/rc.cups start
or using pkgtool add CUPS to startup services to run.
# pkgtool
(Setup > Services > CUPS Print Server).
2. Connect your printer to computer and reboot system.
3. Connect to CUPS Panel by browsing http://localhost:631/
4. Click on "Add Printer".
5. Describe your printer, choose class and model.
