I believe you are referring to the same problem as I posted in PR
ports/52187.
I had also reported this directly to the ports list, as the maintainer
is ports at freebsd.org, about 1-2 weeks prior to filing the PR. I posted
another request for someone to look at the PR prior to the latest ports
freeze.
Basically, printing has been broken on FreeBSD for greater than a month,
and with a release of 5.1 to boot.
