I use lpr/lpd for office applications/xpdf/firefix to print to local USB-connected HP LaserJet 1022
as well as to office network-connected Kyocera FS-6530MFP and previously to Xerox WorkCentre M118.

I prefer not touching CUPS. Please leave lpd alone.

As our Handbook states, we still need only GhostScript plus simple if-filter like this:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

IFS="" read -r first_line
first_two_chars=`expr "$first_line" : '\(..\)'`

if [ "$first_two_chars" = "%!" ]; then
  { echo "$first_line"; cat; }
else
  { echo "$first_line"; cat; } | \
  a2ps -1 -B -X koi8-r -i -q --borders no --end-of-line=n --medium=A4 -o -
fi | gs -q -sDEVICE=pxlmono -dBATCH -dSAFER -dNOPAUSE \
            -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -sOutputFile=- -
#EOF

And in /etc/printcap:

        :sh:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:\
        :rm=192.168.10.22:ct=180:\

        :sd=/var/spool/output/kyocera-d:\
        :ss=/var/spool/output/kyocera-d/sent:

(if-kyocera-duplex adds -dDuplex to gs invocation).
