Probably this means that you have the system lpd running instead of the 
one that lprng presumably wants to run.  See if you have a 
lpd_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf.

Again, probably trying to run the system lpq command (/usr/bin/lpq) 
rather than the one that was installed in a different directory by 
lprng.
