I use cupsd and have these settings to get around using the base system
lp stuff:

in /etc/src.conf - WITHOUT_LPR=yes

and these symbolic links in /usr/bin
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      17 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lp -> /usr/local/bin/lp
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      24 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lpoptions -> /usr/local/bin/lpoptions
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      18 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lpq -> /usr/local/bin/lpq
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      18 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lpr -> /usr/local/bin/lpr
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      19 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lprm -> /usr/local/bin/lprm
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      21 Mar 18  2009 /usr/bin/lpstat -> /usr/local/bin/lpstat

and /usr/bin is _before_ /usr/local/bin in my PATH.
