I am trying to setup a Lanier LD160c (admincolor) that has a network
interface. I am new to FreeBSD and tried to follow the handbook. I
am able to print to a HP 5SI (corp-admin) with no problems. There are
no errors in the lpd-errs and the file is drained from the queue, but
the printer does not print anything. And this is a working printer to
Windows. lpr -P admincolor testfile.txt

Note here that in the second entry you don't have the :sh: and :mx#0:
entries. No :if=: either, but maybe that's because you don't need an
input filter for this printer.
At first guess, this printer may be touchy about the print queue name.
That's the :rp=: parameter, which is not here at all. There are a
couple of KB entries on the Lanier site that say to use "lp".
printcap entries are easier to read if you put one option per line:
admincolor:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=admincolor:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/admincolor:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
