I choose a random entry from my printcap ...

lp|hpijs_DJ9xx dpi=300x300 paper=a4 method=auto:\
    :lp=/dev/lpt0:\
    :if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
    :sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
    :lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
    :af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
    :mx#0:\
    :sh:

I assume, that some paths in /etc/printcap aren't right.

Did you use apsfilters SETUP, to install printer queues ?

Since the last apsfilter SETUP scripts are "stable" and
SETUP takes care about spool dirs and permissions, I assume,
that you perhaps choosed the wrong output device.

Have especialle a look at what is defined as your output device
/etc/printcap: lp=/dev/xxx
This device must be present and useable.
Try to cat to the device directly

root# cat /etc/group > /dev/lpt0

Check this files permissions:
crw-------  1 root  wheel   16,   0  5 Okt 20:53 /dev/lpt0
