Few things here (I have it running just fine)
Add a line to your /usr/etc/inet/services file with:
printer 515/tcp spooler
Also, edit your /etc/printcap file to your needs.
(I noticed it was missing a filter, so the line that starts with:
lp:...
has a of=/usr.... and I removed it and from then on, it runs perfectly.)
