Does CUPS install its own version of `lpr'? I suspect it does.
See if you have a /usr/local/bin/lpr in addition to /usr/bin/lpr.
If you do, then see if that version of lpr works.
What you probably need to do is remove /usr/bin/lpr, or make it
into a symlink to /usr/local/bin/lpr. You would also want to
add to /etc/make.conf a line something like:
NO_LPR=yes
