This indicates that you don't have apsfilter setup correctly.  It 
should have passed the text above to GhostScript for conversion to a 
format suitable for your particular printer.  You should revisit the 
apsfilter SETUP script and check that you have configured it to use 
GhostScript with the correct driver for you printer.

Edit /etc/rc.conf and add the following line (or change it from "YES" 
to "NO"):
	lpd_enable="NO"

> How do I install cups?
	cd /usr/ports/print/cups
	make all install clean

Don't know.
