Not sure where this exactly stems from, but it definitely refers to
printcap and not termcap. The point being, however, that the same
syntax is used for both.

And you have no printers served :)

This is interesting. It could be that there's a bug in papd function
which is parsing /etc/printcap. Or, perhaps, lpd handles errors in
printcap gracefully.

Could there be an err^^or (px#1440)?
Regardless, I would suggest that you try with a very simple printcap
entry (referred to from papd.conf) and then try adding more capabilities
until you find an error. Also, did you try changing the lp capability
to pipe in papd.conf as it was suggested?
