Yesterday or the day before that I could print test pages from CUPS web interface. shuted down the pc after night, and when i booted it up again it had a little surprize for me "printer busy; will retry in 10 seconds".

Now, for a crash course in brain surgery. 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 are the bsd box and 192.168.0.6 is my xp box.

firewall is PF
all the syntax is irelevant, but what is relevant is this line here:

pass in on $ext_if proto {tcp, udp} from 192.168.0.6 to any port {0:65535}

nothing spectacular in make.conf
cups web interface is configured with https support.



Now, what I remember before the shut down. I upgraded the xfprint utility (xfce4) from ports but the printer was ok. Still, the xfprint manager wasn't available any more from X. Couldn't care less about that since the box is a NAS server. Doing echo "whatever" >> /etc/lpt0 or /dev/ulpt0 doesn't work. Replyes "Device busy".
Don't see anything relevant in logs; here are the last 25 lines of error.log from /var/log/cups/error.log
