you might try replacing the text following the ...|lp#| from ljet4-a4.... to lj300 and lj600 and see if that works. Just make sure that you back up the printcap file so you don't have rerun yast if it doesn't work.
That is exactly what I did, but as I mentioned on my mail, I got a "printer unknown" message. I can use any of the printer name in the printcap generated by YaST and have a correct print, but if I edit such a file (and then restart lpd, of course) inserting some more entries like lj3 or lj6, then all I have is a "printer unknown" message.
That's because if you don't run YaST there won't be a printer filter to go with the new printcap entry. If you really don't want to run YaST you can just run instead./var/lib/apsfilter/apsfilter.setup instead. But if you change the definition of the printer (including the resolution) then you must do one of these two.
