Have you tried to use lpd -r?

     -r      The -r flag allows the ``of'' filter to be use if specified for a
             remote printer.  Traditionally, lpd would not use the output fil-
             ter for remote printers.

(This was added in December 1999, so it is 1.5_BETA which seems to be
what you are running.)
