Dunno if there's an automatic way to do it, but you can certainly do it
by hand.  The print files are stored in the spool directory you've
specified in /etc/printcap.  Data files start with dfA.

So cd into your spool directory, and use lpr to print the files to the
new queue:

cd /var/spool/output/lpd/lp
lpr -Peps dfA*
