IMHO
http://netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/netbsd.html#chap-print is also excellent.

RE: lpd start in "/etc/rc.conf.local"
After I made a similar typo/mistake I made it a habit to use grep on the default rc.conf
Code:
$ grep lpd /etc/rc.conf
lpd_flags=NO # for normal use: "" (or "-l" for debugging)
You never test with netstat whether the daemons you enbled really are LISTENing?
Code:
$ netstat -an -f inet
