Just an idea that I'd like to test if possible: Is there a way to parse a cups/ppd/*ppd file for lpd? So, for example /usr/local/libexec/lf2crlf (or any "if" file) maybe I would change to #!/bin/sh sed/awk /usr/local/etc/cups/ppd/HP_LaserJet_2100.ppd This is to test what is br=C4=B1ken in cups - the ppd (unlikely) or cups.

Technically, sure. A program can check the PPD for printer features, then enable or configure those features according to settings in printcap or other files. That is one of the things that CUPS does. In practice, it may be somewhat involved. Unless you change models of printers frequently, it is probably easier to just manually set up the filter to do what is desired.
