Xprt doesn't find printers on FreeBSD 6

Hello,

I'm having a problem with Xprt (xorg-printserver-6.8.2_2) on FreeBSD
6-STABLE.  It would seem that Xprt is supposed to automatically detect
my printers, but it doesn't.

I have two printers in my /etc/printcap and successfully print to both.

When I start Xprt, I receive this warning...

# /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d/xprint.sh start
Starting Xprint servers: Xprt.
No matching visual for __GLcontextMode with visual class = 0 (32775),
nplanes = 8

and I'm not sure if that's ultimately my problem or not.  Googling
hasn't helped.


# xplsprinters
xplsprinters:  no printers found for printer spec "".


Here's some information about my system and some diagnostics:

# lpc status all
lp:

 printing is enabled
 no entries in spool area
 printer idle
