Google shows that others have also failed to compile this.
I see that it is a network printer. Does installing cups-bjnp (http://www.freshports.org/print/cups-bjnp/) help at all?
If not, it may be useful to email dinoex-HZy0K5TPuP5AfugRpC6u6w@public.gmane.org to see if he knows which bit needs to be added to the FreeBSD cups port to get the required backend.
Cheers,
