That's just a fragment.  What's the whole entry?  The printer name that
is used by lpr -P is the first line of the entry in /etc/printcap, like
the first line here:

lp|local line printer:\
	:lp=:\
	:sh:\
	:mx#0:\
	:rm=mynetworkprinter:\
	:rp=raw:\
	:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd/lp:\
	:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:

The rm= entry is either a hostname or IP address of the network printer.  
Note also that there is no \ at the end of the last line.
