I am a newbie in the process of setting up FreeBSD 5.5.

lptest > /dev/lpt0

works fine.

when I try 

lpd

lptest 20 5 | lpr -Php

I get

lpd[241]: /dev/lp: No such file or directory

My entry in /etc/printcap is

lp|hp|Hewlett=Packard Laserjet 1100:\
	:sh:\
	:sd=/var/spool/hp:\
	:lp=/dev/lpt0:\
	:if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:

The entry in /usr/local/libexec/if-simple is

#!/bin/sh 
 -- various # comments--
/bin/cat && exit 0
exit 2
