Either you've cut and copied incorrectly, or you've got a syntax error in your printcap. It should look like this: lp|epson|line|Epson|Epson Stylus Color 400 Printer:\ :sh:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:\ :if=/usr/local/libexec/if-simple:\ :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:mx#0: Make sure there are no trailing characters after the '\'; this includes whitespace other than newline.
