Does lpc indicate that the daemon is running? You might try "down"ing and
then "up"ing the queue.

You should be able to get the default printcap in the etc.tgz file of the
distribution you're using. Note: don't untar it in /etc! You can say
something like (cd /tmp; tar xzf etc.tgz ./etc/printcap) to get just it.

Take care,
