That's actually not very detailed. In particular (my favorite three
questions about computer problems), what are you doing to try to
print, what happens when you do that, and what makes you think this is
an error?

However, given that you've not modified any files, then the printer
won't work - because lpd is disabled by default. You need to enable
it. Read /etc/defaults/rc.conf and the rc.conf man page for details.
