Uncomment/Tweak the following in your /etc/printcap: remote|sample remote printer:\ :sh:\ :rm=lphost:sd=/var/spool/output/lphost:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs Make sure the spool directory exists, create if not there. For your installation you don't need an if= attribute. Make sure lpd is running, enable within /etc/rc.conf. lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon.
