Very old software, if possible use LPRng.
Does lprold accept connections from unpriviledged ports?
I assume this old software requires strict RFC 1179 compliance
(i.e. the source port must be 721-731).
Instead of
  echo -e "\004lp" | netcat -w 2 -p 722 10.0.0.11 515
try an unpriviledged port (e.g. 1722)
  echo -e "\004lp" | netcat -w 2 -p 1722 10.0.0.11 515

See
"CUPS Software Administrators Manual":
"Printing to LPD Servers" and "Configuring LPD Printing Options"
in particular see the "reserve=rfc1179".
Note that this requires that the lpd backend runs as root
which requires that the cupsd which starts the backend
runs as root too, see

When any of the involved queues is stopped, there will be no printout.
Enable or re-enable any stopped queues, see
