Joel, I think your second example will work exactly the same as my printcap 
entry as per section 4.10.4 of the LPRNng-HOWTO manual:

http://www.lprng.com/LPRng-HOWTO-Multipart/jobfileformatconversion.htm#AEN3031

I will try the first example tomorrow at work but I believe I did the same
thing when I tried (Section 12.11):

    bounce:lp=bounce@bouncehost
    bounce:server
        :lp=lp@remote
        :lpd_bounce
        :sd=/var/spool/lpd/%P

I'm just confused with the :server option wether I leave it as is or chnaged
it with the remote or the local print server name?

Thanks,
Bernard
