Not sure wat you mean by "device is connected...to the lpd daemon."

In printtool I choose 'Local' (because 'LPD' option prompts me for a
server, which does not apply here), and driver 'hpijs' under the
'hp692c' heading.

After I 'create' the software printer I get 'lpd restarted
successfully'. Then , 'There was an error trying to print the test
page.'
