Beim letzten pkg upgrade bin ich auf ein Problem mit cups gestoßen, die Lösung war in UPDATING schnell gefunden. Sehr erfreulich ist die Tatsache, dass man von nun an keine cupsbezogenen Einträge in /etc/devfs.rules mehr braucht, die Einrichtung eines Druckers, vor allem auch im Zusammenhang mit hplip oder dem Druckerkonfigurationsmenü von KDE4 ist jetzt denkbar schnell und einfach. Das dürfte die Sache vor allem für Neuankömmlinge zu FreeBSD deutlich erleichtern.
Code:

AFFECTS: print/hplip
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
HPLIP has been updated to verion 3.16.2. As part of the update support
for the hpijs/foomatic-rip filter has been dropped. This has long been
unsupported upstream. If you used this filter with your printer you'll
have to remove the printer with HP Device Manager and then add it back as
a new device.
20160311:
AFFECTS: print/cups-base, print/cups-client, print/cups-image
AUTHOR: tijl@FreeBSD.org
The cups-base, cups-client and cups-image packages have been combined
into one cups package.
If you build your own ports the easiest way to update is to delete these
packages first and then build and install print/cups.
If you are using binary packages, depending on the packages installed on
your system, pkg(8)'s solver might get confused. In this case do not proceed
with the upgrade but delete first the packages:
pkg delete -fg "cups*"
Then usual upgrade process: pkg upgrade
The device URI of USB printers has changed so you have to adjust the
printer configuration. Go to http://localhost:631/printers/. Click on
your printer and select "Modify Printer" in the Administration drop-down.
You should then be able to select the new URI of the printer. The web
interface requires cookies and JavaScript to function properly so make
sure your browser does not block them.
The package also installs a devd(8) configuration file now that gives
cups access to USB printers. Unless you have any special needs you can
remove any devd(8), devfs.conf(5) or devfs.rules(5) configuration related
to cups that you may have added in the past.
