You were VERY close - just minor typo, I think, which you did not
catch. Try using:
lp|ug-printer:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
lp|ug-printer
# for servers
:server
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/ug-printer
:mx=0
:sh
:lp=lp@ip_add_of_printer
# next line was 'lpr_bounce' should be lpd_bounce'
:lpd_bounce
:ifhp=model=hp5000
:filter=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:of=/usr/libexec/filters/ifhp
:lf=log:af=acct
