FreeBSD too works the same way as your lpd works on SUN machines.
Configure lpd....
look at the FreeBSD site for Printer config tutorial....
here is the sample /etc/printcap file....
# @(#)printcap 5.3 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
#lp|local line printer:\
lexmark|ps|PS|S|ibm|IBM LEXMARK PostScript v51.4:\
:lp=:rm=Host_Namer:rp=lexmark:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lexmark:
~
~
Please change Host_name and printer type to whatever appropriate in your
case.....
Prashant.
