Nope.

No weird error messages and the printer does its thing.

Nope.

Just changed it to /var/spool/lpd/lp, adjusted /etc/printcap accordingly,
ran "chown -R lp:lp /var/spool/lpd" to make sure the ownership was correct,
HUP'ed lpd. I then output a few lines of text to the printer:

# head -n 20 some_file_hanging_around | lpr

Then got it to eject the page:

# echo -e -n "\x0C" | lpr
