 Thanks to Erenst LaBonte for this answer.

 here is his reponse:

Most of the printcap options are not available when using an lpd
remote (rm/rp) printcap entry. The printcap entry needs to be
converted to use tcp/ip printing.

        :if=/usr/lbin/ppdof +OOutputBin=bin3 +OPageSize=A4 +Chplj8150.rpd:\
        :lf=/usr/adm/lp2err:\
        :lp=_at_berta.nic.fr/port_9100:\
        :mx#0:\
        :of=/usr/lbin/ppdof +OOutputBin=bin3 +OPageSize=A4 +Chplj8150.rpd:\
        :pl#66:\
        :pw#0:\
        :rw:\
        :sd=/usr/spool/lpd2:\
        :xf=/usr/lbin/xf:
                                                                                                                                                      
Edit the file /etc/services and add the following entry:
                                                                                                                                                      
        port_9100 9100/tcp # Printer socket number


 the solution was to use the lp option not the (rm/rp) options
