how do i setup a printer in free BSD?

Normally, I would say that your best option for help with any subject in
FreeBSD is to read the handbook. If you are not sure how to find that, post
a question "How Do I Find The HandBook?".

In the case of printing, the handbook is, in my opinion, functionally
useless. I've spent hours struggling with that and it was of no help
whatsoever.

Specific notes about what is lacking would help. Personally, I'd make a
point of mentioning that lpd with PostScript printers is easy, and CUPS
with any printer generally is not, and if you have a Winprinter, give up
now to save time.
