To avoid rebooting you should do a 'checkpc -f' which will check the
/etc/printcap - making sure that filters exists and are executable and
that spool directories exists (-f makes it create any spool directories
with right permissions rather than just complaining about problems).
Then a 'lpc reread' (or calling the init.d script with reload) will get
lpd to use the new printcap.

Odd. Copied and pasted your printcap entry from the email and it worked
on my machine (I use lprng). Have you tried lpq -v (use multiple v's
for even more output) it should show when it started the filter, what
its outcome was.
As you said in a previous mail that /dev/lp0 is working as you can copy
a text file to it and it prints then try a simple printcap entry with no
filter.
lp:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp
:lp=/dev/lp0
If that doesn't work try posting the output of lpq -v back.
