I think I know what the problem is. Try the next release (LPRng-3.8.6). This should fix the problem.
Version LPRng-3.8.6 - Thu Jan 31 18:01:04 PST 2002 Modified the host/printer lookup behavior when clients are using 'force_localhost'. You now use the 'original' queue name rather than the 'destination' queue name. Wonder how long this has been there.
