Default Reprovisioned Network and lpr printing no longer works

In keeping with my 2 steps forward and 1 step back, I reprovisioned my network from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.2.1 (My new ADSLmodem has a fixed IP of 192.168.1.1).

My main workstation has as static IP with ifconfig re0 egress
Code:
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1492
        lladdr 00:e0:4d:74:59:44
        index 1 priority 0 llprio 3
        groups: egress
        media: Ethernet 100baseTX full-duplex (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
        status: active
        inet 192.168.2.3 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.2.255
.

In my printer web interface I have configured a Static IP of 192.168.2.2 with gateway of 192.168.2.1.

My main workstation dual boots and with Debian/Cups, I can print fine in Debian/Cups using socket://192.168.2.2:9100 and the same ppd that I use in my foomatic-rip filter in OpenBSD.

Booting into OpenBSD I can ping 192.168.2.2 succesfully. I know it is the right device as turning off the printer results in all packets lost.

My configuration files:
Code:
PooBear$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost
192.168.2.1     Shepnet.home.yak Shepnet
192.168.2.2     Brother.home.yak Brother
192.168.2.3     PooBear.home.yak PooBear

PooBear$ cat /etc/printcap

When I issue a print command the job goes into the queue and sits.
I get a warning that no daemon is present which my searches indicated is an "unconnected printer".

Code:
PooBear$ a2ps baby_back_ribs.txt

[Total: 1 page on 1 sheet] sent to the default printer

PooBear$ lpq

PooBear$ lprm -

Although I could use cups, I'm happy with simple things that work and would like to know where I've gone wrong.

You can ping the printer's IP address. But you are using a host name in your printcap(5) file. Does Brother.home.yak resolve to that address? If you haven't tested it, test it. if it fails, look to your resolv.conf(5) configuration.

I figured it out - the lock and status files needed to have daemon:daemon owner:group
Code:
PooBear$ ls -al /var/spool/output/lpd
total 12
drwxrwxr-x  2 root    daemon  512 Nov 21 16:13 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root    wheel   512 Nov 13 19:16 ..
-rw-rw---x  1 daemon  daemon    4 Nov 21 16:13 .seq
-rw-r--r--  1 root    daemon    0 Nov 13 19:11 lock
-rw-r--r--  1 root    daemon    0 Nov 13 19:12 status

changed to 
total 20
drwxrwxr-x  2 root    daemon  512 Nov 21 17:15 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root    wheel   512 Nov 13 19:16 ..
-rw-rw---x  1 daemon  daemon    4 Nov 21 17:15 .seq
