The Question is:
Raw LPD print from VMS to NT
In the ASK The Wizard response "TCP/IP(UCS)lpr/lpd -l (passall) the
solutions was to setup three LPD queues.
1. A remote queue for the users directed to localhost and locallpd
2. A local inbound queue to specify "pa" directed to outbound queue.
3. A remote queue, outbound, to the remote host and remote printer.
I get a printer stream from the user into the LPD directory of the inbound
queue. The file does not transfer to the remote outbound queue to get to
the remote host.
Defining a local queue in LPRSETUP does not initialize a queue. I defined
it as remote and edited the printcap file.
This are the PRINTCAP file entries
# LPD reply queue to accept telnet symbiont queue stream
LPDTNRELAY_FINLJ4|lpdtnrelay_finlj4:\
:lf=/SYS$SPECIFIC/UCX_LPD/LPDTNRELAY_FINLJ4.LOG:\
:lp=LPDTNRELAY_FINLJ4:\

These are the queue definitions:
Server queue LPDIN_FINLJ4, idle, on SLMIS3::, mounted form DEFAULT
/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=UCX$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S) /RETAIN=ERROR
Server queue LPDLVY_FINLJ4, idle, on SLMIS3::, mounted form DEFAULT

/BASE_PRIORITY=4 /DEFAULT=(FEED,FORM=DEFAULT) /OWNER=[SYSTEM]
/PROCESSOR=UCX$LPD_SMB /PROTECTION=(S:M,O:D,G:R,W:S)
System is OpenVMS 6.2, UCX V4.1

The Answer is : This is a known problem when operating in a mixed environment. The Wizard advises you to create two queues (printers) on the Microsoft Windows NT side, eventually pointing to the same port. One queue (printer) will use passthru option, the other not. The passthru option is discussed in technet articles Q168457 and Q150930.
