That's deliberate. You shouldn't need to.

I've never done this, but it looks like you would want do something
like this. Create a shell script, say /usr/local/bin/print-hpdeskje
with the contents
#!/bin/sh
smbclient \\\\dahouse\\hpdeskje <password> -U <username> -P -c 'print -'
(username and password are for the NT server.)
Then in /etc/printcap, put something like
lp|deskjet:\
:lp=/dev/null:sd=/var/spool/lpd/deskjet:\
:sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\
:if=/usr/local/bin/print-hpdeskje:\
:af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
Thus when you print to the deskjet, lpd will filter it through
the script, which will run smbclient and dump it to the printer on SMB.
(You need to install the samba package for this). Then nothing is sent
to the printer because lp=/dev/null.
