I infer that the thing > to do in this case is to set lpd_flags="-s". Yes, just add lpd_flags="-s" as a line in /etc/rc.conf. You could then run the unix command: /etc/rc.d/lpd restart to restart 'lpd' and see how well it works for you with that option specified. The file /etc/defaults/rc.conf is very useful to see what other things can be set via environment variables in /etc/rc.conf.
