I just happen to be working on a similar problem tonight. One thing that appears to be needed is to stop and restart lpd (a kill -HUP does not do the trick!) by going into /etc/init.d and issuing a
/lpd stop then a /lpd start and changes to your /etc/printcap should then take effect. I have not needed the -l 515 for my lpd ... it seems to listen to the proper port by default and my lpd manpage tells me that -l is for logging. You might need to do the stop/start on BOTH machines so that all changes are read correctly.
