I'm pretty sure you can't do this with CUPS. Even with newer versions
of CUPS whose lpr actually has a -H option, I strongly doubt that it
can talk to an lpd like this.

But you definitely can do what you want with rlpr. And it's a very
small package and it won't clobber your CUPS (contrary what I wrote
earlier---last time I just read the intro but didn't actually try).
