I'm not quite sure what you mean... I've never used the
force_localhost directive, and if I turn it on, direct printing is
turned on, but I don't want that, I want to use the local
spool. Without force_localhost, I just get this:

sid:~# lpq
Printer 'sda4_local@localhost' - cannot open connection - No such file or directory
Make sure the remote host supports the LPD protocol
sid:~# 

My printcap entry look like this:

.common:
   :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P
   :sh:mx=0:mc=0
   :lpr_bounce
   :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs
