Hmmm... it appears that the lpc redirect simply overrides the 'lp=' value. This is not good when you have a filter running... The general approach would be: if redirected, then simply copy job to destination, no filtering or changes... But now you have folks who want to redirect to specific printers... Sigh... This is a mess...
