You need to install the pnm2ppa port. When it finishes installing it will ask you to put a certain block of text into your printcap, do this. Also you need to edit /usr/local/etc/pnm2ppa.conf to comment out the "version ERROR" line and uncomment the next line down. Create the /var/spool/ps directory and chown it to root.daemon. (It should look just like /var/spool/lpd permission-wise.) Then kill and restart lpd. I'm using the parallel port kernel config stuff cut-n-pasted from LINT, I don't know if it's different from GENERIC.
