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.

/etc/printcap is read every time lpd has to take action so no need to restart the daemon, i think your problem is quite certainly syntax problem. Have you checked out your modifies ? I've done the same with my Hp Lasejet 6P printer and all was good.
