Can you ACTUALLY print from FreeBSD?

This seems to me to be area to focus on.  Have you tried starting if 
from cli and seeing if any errors show.  Also check logs etc recompile 
cups w/ debugging info if applicable.  I suspect it's not so you may 
have to increase the verbosity in a config file somewhere.  It's been 
awhile since I printed from FreeBSD, but my last experience was positive 
and not nearly as much issue as you're having.  Anyways I suspect 
following cupsd not starting to it's end will result in either solving 
the issue or at least getting to a point where it's easy to resolve.  
You can also try to trace back /usr/local/etc/rc.d/cupsd to see where 
it's failing.
