A command called "lp" simply doesn't exist in the OpenBSD base system: $ man lp man: No entry for lp in the manual. $ which lp which: lp: Command not found. Just use lpr(1) = /usr/bin/lpr. $ pkglocate bin/lp | grep 'lp$' cups-2.2.10p0:print/cups,-main:/usr/local/bin/lp I'd advise against using cups when you can avoid it. It is a behemoth that is extremely poorly designed, and the documentation of cups is of terrible quality. You are no doubt in for no end of surprises if you attempt to use cups. Admittedly, with some low-quality printers, using it may look like an easy workaround for other problems. But if your printer understands PostScript, you should be just fine without cups.
