Printing setup

I am trying to set up FreeBSD 4.10
When it comes to printing I am fairly
slavishly following the Handbook.

Unfortunately, when I try
lptest 20 5 | lpr -PLaserjet

I get the following message:
lpd[297]:Laserjet: cannot execv(/usr/local/libexec/if-simple):
no such file or directory

/usr/local/libexec/if-simple is there:
Moving it to /usr/local (with corresponding modification of
/etc/printcap) doesn't seem to help.

I have not had this problem with 5.1
If I remove the if= entry from /etc/printcap I get printing but
(of course) in a totally unsatisfactory format.

So now what?  Drop back 15 yards and punt?

Thanks in advance
