lpr won't work because the printcap entry isn't complete. Here's the
entry that it looks to have generated, but note that "rm=" isn't filled
in -- it should be the hostname or IP address of the printer:
# APS1_BEGIN:printer1
# - don't delete start label for apsfilter printer1
# - no other printer defines between BEGIN and END LABEL
lp|lj5gray;r=600x600;q=high;c=gray;p=a4;m=auto:\
:lp=:\
:rm=:\
:rp=raw:\
:if=/usr/local/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lp:\
:lf=/var/spool/lpd/lp/log:\
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lp/acct:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:
# APS1_END - don't delete this
So change the :rm=: line to:
:rm=10.0.0.152:\
