If you haven't already done so, do a "man lpq", "man lpc". This may tell you
whether your lpd daemon is working or not and that only your /etc/printcap
needs tweaking. More than likely it's your /etc/printcap file. Pay attention
to /var/spool/lpd/your_print_queue, as this directory needs to have the
proper permissions such as who has privileges to print to the queue. More
than likely you will want owner and group status set to "lp" for your print
queue. Please read the printcap manuals.

PS. Please post you /etc/printcap file, so we may see if we can be of
further help.
