I am not sure if this will help you but looking at the machine that we are
printing to, the contents of its file is
comic5 % more /etc/hosts.lpd
# /etc/hosts.lpd: list of hosts that are allowed to use the printing
# services of this machine. See lpd(8).
# $Id: hosts.lpd,v 2.0 1994/06/30 17:14:15 imurdock Exp $
.ee.edu.za
Which I think means allow all machines with ips matching *.ee.edu.za.
Somehow this machines must appear in /etc/hosts. Good luck - as I said I
do not know if it will be helpful but at least it shows the contents of
our /etc/hosts.lpd file
