Ah, now it all makes sense. Set up /etc/printcap like this:

lp|hp|hp870|HP870Cse:\
        :lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp870:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/sbin/dj550c-filter-2-hp870-real:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
hp870-real:
        :lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/hp870-real:\
        :sh:rm=192.168.1.1:rp=hp870:

Now you'll create a script, call it /usr/sbin/dj550c-filter-2-hp870-real
and make it like so:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/dj550c-filter $* | lpr -Php870-real -U$5

You also need to do this:

mkdir /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real
chown lp.lp /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real
chmod 775 /var/spool/lpd/hp870-real

Then restart lpd and you should be in business!
