Adding lp service via pmadm

I'm on a V.4 system and am attempting to add the lp service to the listen(1M)
port monitor via the pmadm(1M) command.  Page 9-14 of the V.4 System
Administrator's Guide gives the following syntax:

   pmadm -a -p tcp -s lp -i root -V `nlsadmin -V` \
   -m `nlsadmin -o /var/spool/lp/fifos/listenS5`

I get no errors when I execute this command and pmadm -l indicates that the
service has been added successfully.  What I don't understand, however, is
why there is no private address (provided via -A option of the nlsadmin
command) associated with the service.  Does listen moditor a default address
if neither a private address nor dynamic addressing (via the -D option to
nlsadmin) is specified?  Is this an error in the documentation?
