I have tried what you suggested and ran the following commands...

cd /etc/
lp -d laser printcap

That results in a page where the text does not show up after the first two
because the carriage return characters are not in that file.  I imagine it
would like a filter in there, but at least I know it can print now.

Thanks for the help so far.

Now I would like to get the Unix/Netatalk print spooler to show up in the
MacOS chooser.  What do I need to do?
