Step 11Connecting with Mac OSX
1) Open up System Preferences -> Print and Fax
2) Click the "+" to add a printer
3) Go to the "IP" tab
Protocol: LPD
Address: The IP of FreeNAS
Queue: Name of print queue (if you copied my printcap, it's "lp" without quotes)
Name and Location are up to you
Print Using: Pick correct drivers*
*Some printers, like my HP Deskjet 6540 wouldn't let me use the usb drivers with the LPD. I had to instead pick one as close as possible (turned out to be 5550) and go with that. If the two models are similar, it should work without a problem.

Below is output at step 3: reenas:/mnt/freenas# pkg_add LPRng.tbz pkg_add: find_play_pen: can't find enough temporary space to extract the files, please set your PKG_TMPDIR environment variable to a location with at least 18996612 bytes free I did a #setenv PKG_TMPDIR to the mounted directory where I issued the pkg_add command. There is many gigs of space left there. Am I missing something? I only use Freenas currently for Slimserver. I know that I made two partitions on the Freenas install. The /mnt/freenas directory is visible from Windows via Samba. I went and got the LPRng.tbz file another FTP site, because the remote option couldn't find it. Any help appreciated. I would need help walking through my system config to get the file space issue, I'm a relative newbie. Thanks, Erik
