it sounds like LPD is working OK (send the job to the printer), the problem is 
the print job (the language PS/PCL) or in the printer (no configured).

how do you configure this printer in windows (LPR port)?

can you print to a file in windows, bring that file to FreeBSD and send it 
with lpr -P admincolor FileInWindows.bin

did you check the next URL?
