I don't want to belong to the "Patch of The Day Club" either, but
doesn't it strike ANYONE on the netatalk team that maybe, just
maybe, this kind of question could go on a web page somewhere?

And it definitely is a FAQ.
You can use the undocumented pipe support in papd. For instance,
I essentially use:
printer:\
:pr=|lpr -Pprinter
:ppd=/your/ppd/file.ppd
I also use LPRng, but you should be able to get it work with
lp.
Good luck.
