OpenBSD tip: Speed up boot time if you’re running CUPS
Posted by suvi under BSD
When I set up an OpenBSD box, I generally use CUPS — the Common Unix Printing System.
I’ve had pretty good luck with CUPS and OpenBSD, even though it can be a bit more hacky than usual to get your printers and PCs to come to an agreement and actually print something.
The last time I set up CUPS printing was with OpenBSD 4.4 on my Toshiba Satellite 1101-S101 laptop (the best OpenBSD platform I’ve had the pleasure of using, by the way).
I had already set up this OpenBSD install to pull packages from my local FTP mirror, after which I installed CUPS using pkg_add.
