Have you started the lpd daemon process at boot-up (I'm guessing no at this point)? To check if you have, do: ps ax | grep lpd If not, then you'll need to change /etc/rc.conf to start it for you (iff you're version < 3.0). For version >= 3.0 create this file (/etc/rc.conf) and copy the line from /etc/defaults/rc.conf that defines the LPD variable to start the lpd process and change the "NO" to "YES" in there - search /etc/defaults/rc.conf for LPD and you'll see immediately what I mean...
