What seems like a very silly CUPS question

I';ve set up a amchine with CUPS and Samba. I can print fine
on that machine, the windows clients can print fine on that
machine. All looks great.
Now I want to connect some other FreeBSD boxes to that server.
Which I thought would be simple enough - just enable lpd and set
them up to print raw to it using lpd.
...but for the life of me I cant make it work. lpd starts up
with the error '/dev/lp: No such file or directory', and even
when I can persuade it to accept a job (currently oy outting a + in
hosts.equiv) it doesnt end u[p in the queue or on the remote
printer at all.
Have now spent three hours on this. Help! Anybody got
any good advice ? Is there some magic by way I can make cups
listen as lpd (or any other protocol would do! ipp?)
-bat.
