A few things to look at:

Remote queues do not normally process filters. You can put
the filter on the printserver. Or with a suitable filter you
can define a 'local' queue that does what you want anyway.
> cd /var/spool/lpd/results
> mv filter filter-previous which has mode 755

> ^d

I'd use full pathnames on the sed command and the make-mods.sed file.
Also you probably want '#!/bin/bash' as the first line of the filter.
Just a ':' won't do (if this is like an Irix box I de-staircased a
while back). This was of the artificial local variety.
Here's a try. Define this as a filter on a LOCAL queue.
It's a long time since I did this - I may be forgetting something.
#!/bin/bash
/bin/sed -f /full/pathname/make-mods.sed | \
/usr/bin/lpr -Presults
exit 0
