I discovered that lpd is not enabled as a default on FreeBSD and that I had to add the line -- lpd-enable="YES" -- to /etc/rc.conf to get things to start printing. I infer from this, and from the mass of printing that came off the system printer as soon as cups-lpd was started, that printing from vim, or nay other cli command, has not worked on this system since it was installed in July. Funnily enough, I found that the settings in /etc/printcap were all there for the printers we have on the network. As were the spool directories in /var/spool/lpd/. I have no idea how that happened and yet the lpd service was not enabled.
