OK,
I do a lptest > /dev/lp1 and I get a test page printed. I installed
apsfilter from the ports collection on the 2.2.5 CD and nothing at all.
I am going to attach a copy of my printcap and if someone could look at
it and give me some help I would appreciate it.
Thanks

###
### This enables a simple local "raw" printer, hooked up to the first
### parallel port. No kind of filtering is done, so everything you
### pass to the "lpr" command will be printed unmodified.
###
### Remember, for further print queues you're going to add, you have to
### chose different spool directories (the "sd" capability below),
### otherwise you will greatly confuse lpd.
###
### For some advanced printing, have a look at the "apsfilter" package.
### It plugs into the lpd system, allowing you to print a variety of
### different file types by converting everything to PostScript(tm)
### format. If you don't have a PostScript(tm) printer, don't panic,
### but do also install the "ghostscript" package.
###
### Do also refer to section 7 (Printing) of the handbook. A local copy
### can be found under /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.{html,latin1}.
###

# :lp=/dev/lpt1:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
###
### Sample remote printer. The physical printer is on machine "lphost".
### NB: you cannot perform any kind of local filtering directly. If
### you need local filters (e.g. LF -> CR-LF conversion for HP printers),
### create a filter script that recursively calls lpd with another -P
### argument after filtering.
