I have a system running standard lpd on OpenBSD 5.3 which works with a
filter. I have:
lp|parallel:\
:lp=/dev/lpa0:\
:br#57600:\
:rm=:\
:rp=:\
:mx#0:\
:sd=/var/spool/output/parallel:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
:sh:\
:if=/var/spool/output/parallel/filter
So at least as of OpenBSD 5.3 filters worked just find with the standard
lpd. I cannot say for newer versions as I have not yet upgraded, but I
don't know why it should cease to work.
