Okay. Two things to check. I've marked the relevant parts of the printcap
entry below. My guess is that the first is okay but the second is not.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the spooler directory for the printer. Make sure it is actually
present in /var/spool/lpd .

This is the filter program that lpd will call to process the output. Make
sure it is there. (I'm guessing it is missing -- explains both the second
error message and the format problem). What you need here is printer
specific and I don't recall what printer you are using.
