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.
