To the printer? You mean a Netatalk spooler, I think?

Okay. At this point the printjob has been accepted and queued locally into
the lpd spooling system. What does "lpc status" say at this time?

In the latter case there is a missing pipe symbol, isn't it?
(compare <http://www.giub.unibe.ch/~eugster/appleprint.html>)
How is "lp" configured? How look your printcap's entries like?

Maybe a permission problem that prevents papd to communicate with lpd? In
this case 'pr="|/usr/bin/lpr -Plp"' should help.
