"ls /var/db/pkg | grep cups" produces:

# ls /var/db/pkg | grep cups
cups-base-1.4.2_4
cups-client-1.4.2_4
cups-image-1.4.2_4
cups-magicolor-1.5.0_5
cups-pdf-2.5.0_2
cups-pstoraster-8.15.4_5

/etc/rc.conf contains:

cupsd_enable="YES"
devfs_system_ruleset="system"

/etc/devfs.rules contains:

[system=10]
add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups
add path 'lpt*' mode 0660 group cups

As far as I can see, other configuration items as described in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/printing-cups-configuring-server.html
are reasonable.

One thing I noticed is that when I restarted devfs, nothing /seemed
to/ happen:

# /etc/rc.d/devfs restart
#

But when I restarted cupsd, I received acknowledgement:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd restart
Stopping cupsd.
Starting cupsd.
#

Maybe "cups" /is/ properly installed... After all, it does respond to
me on http://localhost:631. The main problem seems to be the fact that
something fails when actually printing. On the job status page, I see:

▼  ID ▼	Name	User	Size	Pages	State	Control
KONICA-MINOLTA-2430DL-24  	Test Page  	root  	1k  	1  	stopped
"/usr/local/libexec/cups/filter/rastertokm2430dl failed"
