OK, I have found the problem(s).  Apparently I cannot read my own documentation,
and tried to read from a file that was closed.  Sigh.

By the way,  I have some minor suggestions:

printer_name|PRINTER_NAME:client:lpr_bounce:lp=printer_name@localhost
                                ^^^^^^ remove this
Result:

  printer_name|PRINTER_NAME:client:lp=printer_name@localhost

You will also not need the stuff in the .printer-ip for connections to localhost or 
even
connections to remote systems.

printer_name|PRINTER_NAME:server:tc=.printer-ip
  :ab:bs=/usr/local/libexec/filters/pclbanner
  :filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
  :of=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ofhp:lp=ip.of.printer%9100
.printer-ip
  :sd=/var/tmp/LPD/%P
  :chooser=/usr/local/eprint/bin/poll_printer.pl
  :connect_grace=10
  :network_connect_grace=10

Yes, yes, I know that the : at the end is OK,  but it is VERY confusing,
and you only need to drop one :\ and you screw up...  as I did while
testing.
