... and even if you don't your /etc/printcap would look like the
following (I have an HP LaserJet 4 with a JetDirect card, but sadly
without the PostScript ROM):

|lp|local printer:\
|        :sh:lp=9100@lp.internal:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
|        :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:of=/usr/local/bin/ps2ljet4

where lp.internal is the network address for my LaserJet.

/usr/local/bin/ps2ljet4 would look like:

|#!/bin/sh
|
|GS=/usr/pkg/bin/gs
|GSFLAGS="-q -sPAPER_SIZE=a4 -sDEVICE=ljet4 -dNOPAUSE"
|
|exec $GS $GSFLAGS -sOutputFile=- -

these work for me, but as usual YMMV ...
