I can confirm that it does _not_ work (out of the box). There is a
workaround that might work: if you set an environment
variable CUPS_SERVER to localhost, you should be able to print:

bash/sh:
$ export CUPS_SERVER=localhost

csh:
% setenv CUPS_SERVER localhost

Yes, this is not a FreeBSD problem btw., it also occurs on Linux.
