To start the print service you just need to kill and restart lpd.
Here is an example of /etc/printcap (all printers remote, print server
is the host called 'hera'):
Milou:\
:lp=:rm=hera:rp=Milou:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Milou:mx#0:
Idefix:\
:lp=:rm=hera:rp=Idefix:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Idefix:
Rantanplan:\
:lp=:rm=hera:rp=Rantanplan:sd=/var/spool/lpd/Rantanplan:
