I put some echo lines inside the netstandard file (and redirected the
output to a file in /tmp) to see whether the print service using
netstandard file or not. But the echo lines printed nothing (actually
the output file was not created). I suspect that the netstandard file
is being used by the print service.

When you create the print queue, the netstandard file is copied to
the /etc/lp/interfaces directory and given the name of the printer.
The copy of the file in /etc/lp/interfaces is the one that is used
to deliver print files to the printer.

So you need to put your echo lines in the file that has the same name
as your printer queue, in the directory /etc/lp/interfaces.
