Is there a good tutorial/example that shows how to setup an epson printer under freebsd?

I end up going in circles and never get anything to print correctly. Half the time plugging in USB devices freezes up the system.

HELP!!!!!!!!

How i made my printer work with FreeBSD 6.0, KDE and Cupsd:

"Perhaps this is not the correct place for this post but a lot of cups queries show here.

To get my printer (Epson Stylus C42UX I also use KDE but the same procedure works with CUPS localhost:631) working I carried out the following steps."

Hope that helps

I don't want to be anti-freebsd... and I love it for servers... but again they need to do some clean up for desktop users...

I've never successfully printed from FreeBSD. With Ubuntu the *ONLY* printer setup I needed to do was simply plug the USB printer in and then print! (even easier than on windows... which is how it should be).

Appreciate the link I'll check it out.
