In the lts.conf file there is a little blip on how to do what you are 
hoping for

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Example of a parallel printer attached to /dev/lp0 on workstation ws001
#
#[ws001]
#    PRINTER_0_DEVICE   = /dev/lp0
#    PRINTER_0_TYPE     = P              # P-Parallel, S-Serial



When ws001 boots up it is now a jetdirect server sharing the printer 
connected to the parallel port.   From there you add it as a printer 
like you would any other jetdirect connected printer.  There are other 
options you can do like flow control etc, but I've found those two lines 
are all you need.

I have 2 or 3 printers right now hooked up to thin client jet direct 
boxes and they work great.
