I have tried the reccomendations that you guys have suggested with no luck.
Here is my current printcap.

:rm=admincolor:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\

Please trim your responses and don't top-post, as it makes responding to
your messages difficult.
The printcap still has no :rp=lp: line. HP printers aren't picky about
that, but other brands sometimes are.
You've also added a filter and kept the multiple printer names. Things
like that make more complexity to debug. Wait until you have basic
communication working. The exact suggested printcap entry:
admincolor:\
:lp=:\
:sh:\
:mx#0:\
:rm=admincolor:\
:rp=lp:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/admincolor:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
Note: one printer name (who needs more than one, really?). rm= and rp=
entries. No filter; I think that printer can handle PostScript and PCL.
Put that printcap entry in /etc/printcap, then send a PostScript test to
the printer (all one line):
printf "%%\!PS\n/Courier findfont 20 scalefont setfont 72 72 moveto (Test!) show
showpage\f" | lpr -P admincolor
