I installed gutenprint as i am trying to get an inkjet printer to work.
However, I cant find in the documentation which directory the relevant
driver is located in. Can someone please help with this?

Also, I have noticed some people use 'foomatic-rip' to make a driver. I
cannot find this port and was wondering if it has stop being produced
now.

The package includes only the GhostScript drivers.../usr/local/bin/
ijsgutenprint{something}.

You may want to build the port yourself, doing a 'make config' first to
select foomatic data files (no idea if that helps) and cups drivers. The
'pkg-plist' in the directories for the dependent ports will also give a
clue.

gutenprint is a meta-port - it merely causes other ports to be built. See
its Makefile.
