My printcap, that works for remote printing, looks like this:
lp|huiac|lj|HP Laserjet 6MP:\
:lp=:\
:rm=huiac:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:\
:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:\
:pl#70:\
:pw#80:\
:pc#150:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
Maybe specifying 'lp=/dev/null' is getting your work thrown away before
lpd notices you've specified a remote printer?
