This printcap will print an LPD header page which certainly isn't made
up of PostScript commands.  This will ruin the rest of the job.  You
want to add

   :sh:

to the above.  Heck, while you're at it, add

   :mx#0:

as well to suppress the maximum job size limiter.  See

   file:/usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html      (installed FreeBSD 2.1)
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook.html   (elsewhere)

and look for ``Printing'' for more info.
