Try man printcap The "sd" part is the spool directory. Depending upon how secure your system is/has to be, you can 777 it.

I have altered printcap but never started from scratch. As I remember it creates a spool director with several files you need. They are quite different between 6.2 and 7.2. If you know someone with 7.0 you could checkout what is in the spool directory and try copying them and modifying as necessary, also be sure to start lpd.
