This is a local printer on lp0. I set it up using apsfilter, and I dont use cups.
Your printcap disagrees with both of those sentences. See the handbook chapter on printing for the way to do this. If you have FreeBSD sources installed, /usr/src/etc/printcap should contain the sample file. Pay particular attention to the lp, rm, and rp parameters.
