Here's mine - been working for years:

lp|snow|snowball|lj|ps|HP ColorLaserJet 4550N:\
         :sh:\
         :sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
         :mx#0:\
         :lp=:rm=snowball:rp="auto":

This printer understands Postscript and plain text, and has always Just 
Worked with no CUPS, filters or any of that stuff needed.
