I don't use CUPS but from this error, it looks like you haven't created the printer spool directory "sd". Try adding ":sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp960c" to /etc/printcap and make sure that /var/spool/lpd/hp960c exists and that it's group "lp" and mode 775 then restart lpd. > Yes, I can see the files that way.
