Some Progress, the lpd daemon does not appear to be starting. When I manually started it I was able to 'lpc start hp5l'. I'm not sure why it does not start at boot but will try a more explicit 'lpd_flags=YES'

I just now see the typo ldp -> lpd
Now I'm also dealing with permission problems.

The freebsd handbook is good to get a general idea about the lpd printing process.
