By chance do you have cups-lpr installed? Be sure you read the Makefile 
and a couple of other files because you will needo to tell 
/etc/make.conf to forever more not make the lp* stuff (that information 
is in man make.conf) because cups has its own version of the lp* items. 
Everytime  you makeworld you'll wipe it out.

If you do have it installed then  you may want to uninstall it then 
reinstall a make world might have wiped it out.

 From there you should then be able to print.

In a few words: Works for me. :) (Well sort of, having some sort of 
font/printer driver problem where certain fonts are squished together)
