That's not a question of 1.4.1 as in "NetBSD 1.4.1" -- pap comes with Netatalk.

Back when I dived into pap.c I found that only about half of the options it
takes are actually listed in pap.1, with comments that were less than
clear. Still, its author was quite generous with abusive language against
some printers' understanding of the pap protocol.

Reminds me of the "You point to somebody else and three fingers of your
hand point back to you" sentence I learned in Kindergarten...
