When using the -P option, the name of the printer is what is
specified on the first line of the printcap, i.e. rlp or Premote
Printer. There is also no space between the P and the name, so the
command line you would want appears like this:

lpr -Prlp /etc/printcap, or lpr -PRemote Printer /etc/printcap (Not
sure if the space in the name might cause problems).

Also, not sure if this was just a typo, but it should be
:rm=Jib_Jack: not :rm==Jib_Jack:.
