Around here we actually read man pages and pkg-readmes

predrag@oko$ uname -a
OpenBSD oko.bagdala2.net 6.3 GENERIC.MP#107 amd64

Please check for foomatic-rip filters explanation which was
intensionally broken by upstream for LPD spooling 

/usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/cups-filters-1.20.1

You should also try to find your answer by searching first 

misc@openbsd and ports@openbsd

Here is my post which would have answered your question.

Most of OpenBSD guys I personally know are big believers in KISS
principle. Answering original question with a suggestion that a simple
functionality available from the base should be replaced with a very
complicated external program is a bad advise.
