Well, here are my test results:
h110: {196} % lpr "-Tthis is it" /tmp/hi
h110: {197} % lpq
Printer: t1@h110 'Test Printer 1'
Queue: 1 printable job
Server: pid 32477 active
Unspooler: pid 32478 active
Status: processing 'dfA476h110.private', size 3, format 'f', IF filter 'filter' at
16:56:18.845
Filter_status: FILTER 32479 sleeping 5

active papowell@h110+476 A 476 /tmp/hi 3 16:56:18
h110: {198} % cat /var/tmp/LPD/t1/acct
jobstart '-Hh110.private' '-npapowell' '-Pt1' '-kcfA476h110.private' '-b3'
'-t2002-03-02-16:56:18.840' '-Tthis is it'
jobend '-Hh110.private' '-npapowell' '-Pt1' '-kcfA476h110.private' '-b3'
'-t2002-03-02-16:56:23.888' '-CA' '-J/tmp/hi'
Using your string in the printcap:
lp:as=jobstart $H $n $P $k $b $t $T
:lp=/dev/null
:sd=/var/tmp/LPD/%P
:filter=/tmp/filter
(this is just a dummy filter)
