I found configuring LPRng really painfull. I can offer you 
an extract from my /etc/printcap, which is shared by server 
and all clients (for easier maintenance):

lp|lj|lj6mp|HP LaserJet 6MP
        :client
        :[EMAIL PROTECTED]
lp|lj|lj6mp|HP LaserJet 6MP
        :server
        :oh=SERVER.SUB.DOMAIN
        :if=/etc/magicfilter/lj6mp-filter
        :lp=/dev/lp0
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
        :mx=0:sh:sf:pw=80:pl=72:px=1440
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct
        :lf=/var/log/lp-errs

However, in addition to this, I found it essential to uncomment
the following line in /etc/lpd.conf (ie, DON'T force localhost!):

force_localhost@

Good luck,
