One way to do it is to install Apsfilter. Check out www.apsfilter.org.
The other way is to just add an entry for the printer in /etc/printcap. Since you are just printing plain ascii it shouldn't be very hard to set up.
Look for a line that looks like this one, and uncomment it. Restart lpd and printing should work.
# lp|local line printer:\
# :lp=/dev/lp:sd=/var/spool/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
