Uncomment/Tweak the following in your /etc/printcap:
remote|sample remote printer:\
:sh:\
:rm=lphost:sd=/var/spool/output/lphost:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs
Make sure the spool directory exists, create if not there. For your
installation you don't need an if= attribute. Make sure lpd is
running, enable within /etc/rc.conf.
lpd_enable="YES" # Run the line printer daemon.
Cheers.
