"failed to print because of an error" with error number 2. I've also
seen a different error message but I can't replicate that at the
moment.

Yes.

I don't see how any of that would help. With tcpdump I can see
network traffic over tap0 to the linux lpd port, so I know MacOS is
attempting to communicate with linux in more or less the right way.
Given that lpd is reporting a protocol error, it looks to me like a
mismatch between the MacOS desktop printer's idea of the lpd protocol
and linux's idea of the lpd protocol.
