You can configure it as a local printer, with the "device" set to
<port>@<host>.  For example:

   ps|Brother HL-1270N PostScript:\
         :sh:\
         :mx#0:\
         :lp=9100@brother:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/brother:\
         :lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

Don't forget to create the spool directory.

This has worked fine for me for years.  See docs/78480.
