I can't answer the authentication problem, but I have an answer for ^B.
It's from RFC 1179. To send a print request with lpr, you send lpd a byte
with the value \002, followed by the name of the printer, followed by a
line feed.
\002 corresponds to ^B, according the ASCII chart printed in O'Reilly's
Unix in a Nutshell. Finding an ASCII chart with the control codes, now
that's a trick.

Short grumble on the nsswitch business. I see mention of
nsswitch.conf many times in search engine responses having
various things calling "db". But almost nowhere does anybody
say how those *db files nsswitch uses get created. There is
no manpage for makedb, which is installed. Somewhere, someone
should at least mention that the name of the program to create
those db files is makedb, and they might want to offer advice
as to when to run with db files and when not to.

Okay, I had a gander at 82501 (all 20 pages of it). What a dogs
breakfast of problems. :-)
I do not have a printcap with an empty lp= entry.
I do not have any bounce statements (bounce_queue, bq or lpr_bounce).
I am running 3.7.4 from 3.7.4-2 debs.
I see no difference running as root or an ordinary user.
Everything in /var/spool/lpd is owned daemon.lp Permissions
700 for the directories of /var/spool/lpd, and 600 for the files
within those directories.
If I run lpr -Pprinter@host instead of just lpr, I get the
following:
LINK_ACK_FAIL with ack ACK_STOP_Q sending str '^Blp' to ....
error msg: 'no connect permissions'
One thing puzzles me in the above, why is that '^B' in the
name of the printer string?
