Theres a build kit available from ltsp.org that though in development,
may be stable enough for print servers. You can add cups source to it.

As far as I am aware, Bi Directional support is not possible with
lp_server. Hence the need to specify PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY = Y with
certain printers, including HP laserjets. Did you try building a new
kernel with ECP support and still specifying  PRINTER_0_WRITE_ONLY = Y ?
