It appears that I can print spool-lessly with

foomatic-rip -P HP-PhotoSmart_C5200 --ppd HP-PhotoSmart_C5200.ppd 
/dev/ulpt0 

so it seems that problem is that somehow I have to pass printer
Id=HP-PhotoSmart_C5200 to cups filter via printcap which coincide with
log outpu.

However /tmp/foomatic-rip-mF6GXB.log is a bit more revealing

foomatic-rip version 1.0.54 running...

'stdin', '-h', 'oko.bagdala2.net', '/etc/foomatic/lpd/lp.ppd'
No printer definition (option -P name) specified!

I am getting that even though I replaced my original file with the one
generated by foomatic-configure utility.

lp.ppd is just renamed original PPD file which I used for many years. I
remember there was a way to generate that file from that but I forgot
how to do it as it was so long time ago.=20

dislike the fact that one of the paths involve CUPS.
