I recommend examining RFC 1179.

The data returned by "lpq" (i.e., "Send queue state (long)") is
unspecified but it may be useful information such as "jammed" or "OK."

If the former, then something like

negate check_tcp -H <pinter> -p 515 -s `printf "\x3\n"` -e "jammed"

may be useful.

If the latter, then something like

check_tcp -H <pinter> -p 515 -s `printf "\x3\n"` -e "OK"

may be useful.
