I don't know about lpd (I use ipp), but a suggestion: set up the printer
to appear with different configurations. For example, I have one printer
(networked as well) but I set it up with different profiles.

o MP750 - set for standard greyscale
o MP750Duplex - set for standard greyscale, duplex mode
o MP750Color - set for standard color printing
o MP750ColorDuplex - set for standard color printing duplex mode (not
used often)
o MP750ColorPhoto - set for optimal color photo settings

The default is MP750 for all so that I save color ink. The user can
select one of the other (virtual) printers to print in other modes when
needed.
