The Box Jellyfish no doubt, nasty piece of work.

You need lpd_port=0 if you want to disable incoming tcpip connections,
which would be more likely on a "client machine" than a "server machine"

eg:

pc1(lpd client)-->unix-->pc1(lpd server)-->tcpip--..
      ..-->pc2(lpd server)-->printer

You dont want anyone to telnet to port 515 on pc1.  There's no reason to
have 515 open on pc1.
