This command returns cups.conf
cups.conf has several matches for cups but none for lpd.
cops.conf contains a number of commands but they do not
look has if they have been run.

Yes, Ubuntu 11.04 (it was is in the first post; perhaps you missed it).

Nope. When it run the command I still get:
dpkg: error processing dcp7065dnlpr (--purge):
Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
reinstall it before attempting a removal.
Errors were encountered while processing:
dcp7065dnlpr
Nevertheless, after a number of trials and tribulations I managed to get purge
to work. Also, the files are removed from /var/lib/dpkg/info.

You were right; it didn't work.
I got:
Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the stop(8) and then start(8) utilities,
e.g. stop lpd ; start lpd. The restart(8) utility is also available.
start: Unknown job: lpd
So now dpkg looks sane but I still can't install my printer.deb file.
Also I tried to do an update but it insists it can only be partial.
I get the following dependency problems:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

I don't know why I am getting these dependency problems now or see why
they might be related
to my printer problems.
Despite this the system seems willing to let me do an upgrade but I am
weary do doing
an upgrade until these issues are resolved.
I don't understand why Shawn had no problems. He installed my printer
using Ubuntu
though I don't know which version of Ubuntu he is using. I am using
Ubuntu 11.04.
Perhaps he is using the 64bit version.
In a posting Shawn indicated he also down loaded the file
cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4-2.i386.deb.
I thought you were supposed to use the cups file or the lpr file, not both.
But it seems that is what Shawn has done.
I have also installed cupswrapperDCP7065DN-2.0.4-2.i386.deb
now but it doesn't affect my problems with lpd.
