Try placing this in darla's /etc/printcap file:
lp|remote|Arnolds printer:\
:lp=:rm=arnold:rp=lp:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:\
:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:mx#0
The `rm' field should contain the remote machine's name.
The `rp' field should contain the remote machine's printer name.
You may have to clear the print queue on darla and ensure that darla
is running lpd (/etc/rc.conf has `lpd_enable="YES"').

Use the `rp' and `rm' fields, respectively.
