Stupid me!
I saw this in your first message, but forgot to verify this.
You made a typo in your papd.conf!
There is no "ps" attribute.
You probably mean "pr=lp:".
BTW: If your lpd isn't started when data arrive in your spooler queue you can pipe the data to lpr:
"pr=|/usr/bin/lpr -Plp:". The daemon is then started by lpr.
