                                    I think, this is in a separate line?

My /etc/lpd.perms is identical, but when I try your printcap entry I get

$ lpq -v -Plpx
Printer: lpx@client
 Error:  - no spool directory for printer 'lpx'
$ checkpc
Warning - lpx: Bad printcap entry - missing 'sd' or 'client' entry?
lpx|erm1|remote
 :lp=lp@erm1.u-strasbg.fr
 
My working printcap on client is:

ljt|toshiba|Toshiba PageLaser8:\
  :lp=/dev/null:\
  :bq=lp@server:\
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/toshiba:\
        :sh:pw#80:pl#72:px#1440:mx#0:\
        :if=/usr/sbin/ljet2p-filter:\
        :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs:
