Try the following,  which is precisely for this situation.

lpd.perms:

# accept all jobs at submission time
ACCEPT SERVICE=R
REJECT SERVICE=P REMOTEUSER=root

          ^^^^ this checks AFTER the job has been spooled.
          ^^^^ and add the other checks as well here, with
          ^^^^ SERVICE=P rather than SERVICE=R
