PRINTCAP(5) FreeBSD Programmer's Manual PRINTCAP(5)
NAME
printcap - printer capability data base
...
The if filter is invoked with arguments:
if [-c] -wwidth -llength -iindent -n login -h host acct-file
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can't do this with an `of' filter however.
If you are not interested in any printing at all, use lp=/dev/null.
In this case, only your filter is being called.
