That's to be expected; your "foo" does not run a print service listening on port 515 unless you configure it to do so.

My other post outlined what you need to do: enable "cups-lpd" on foo (see also "man cups-lpd").

But my other post also adviced against the usage of the "lpd://" device URI scheme (which requires to run cups-lpd). Better use "ipp://" or "http://".
