I just tried this on LPRng 3.8.13, with an HP JetDirect
interface and this worked fine.  I think you might want
to try:

lp
:sd=/var/spool/lp/%P
:lp=printer_FDQN%9100
:mx=0

You can find out what is happening by using lpq -lll
to get more status:

Printer: t7@h110
 Queue: no printable jobs in queue
