No, you need to use lpoptions and the job-hold-until option for that
form:

     lpoptions -p printer -o job-hold-until=indefinite

Note: different command and different option name than you used.

If you are using CUPS 1.2 (and *only* CUPS 1.2 - earlier versions
did not offer this functionality), then lpadmin will work, but
using the job-hold-until-default option:

     lpadmin -p printer -o job-hold-until-default=indefinite
