      give us a peek at your /etc/printcap file..

# /etc/printcap

# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
# Be warned that the control-panel printtool requires a very strict format!
# Look at the printcap(5) man page for more info.

# This file can be edited with the printtool in the control-panel.

Bog standard as written by printtool. Works perfectly locally.

      are the hosts in hosts.allow ?   (not needed though I think)

I don't think hosts.allow is relevant for lpd.
