Edit /etc/lpd.perms so it has a couple of lines saying sth. like this

# reject all connections from remote machines
ACCEPT SERVICE=X HOST=localhost
REJECT SERVICE=X

and make sure that you have no other `SERVICE=X' lines in that file.
Also, these lines should appear before the `DEFAULT' line.  Now you can do
a `/etc/init.d/lprng reload', and remote connections will be blocked.
