Subject: printing on an HP LJ 4M (w/netatalk)

I recently upgraded my system to FreeBSD 4.2 and then downloaded and
installed netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3_1.  The install seemed to go OK,
but printing has not come online.

Here was my first attempt:

   % lpr /etc/group
   lpr: cannot create /var/spool/output/lp/.seq

"mkdir /var/spool/output/lp" seems to have solve this problem, but
then I got:

   %lpr /etc/group
   lpr: connect: No such file or directory
   jobs queued, but cannot start daemon.

Any suggestions?  Like, is there some magic I need to invoke?

-r

Here are my /etc/printcap entries, FWIW:

# HP LJ 4M, via netatalk
