Many of us would be happy to help.  First off though, you might want to add:

 - what version of CUPS are you using?
 - what version of FreeBSD are you using (uname -a)
 - what kind of printer are you using?
 - what is the error message you see?

That's a start.  Some more detail and info would be useful.

Also, have you tried checking any of the error messages you receive
against www.google.com/bsd?  The questions at freebsd.org mailing list has a
lot of answers and you can often google to find the same problems others
have had.  (This worked well for me when installing moregroupware
recently.)
