I think that you are right about not having the lpd emulation set up. I
found a How-To for setting up the cups-lpd helper server, but I have not
gotten it to work.
I tried starting it by "/usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd start", and the
process would hang and have to be killed. I also tried putting it in
inetd by adding " printer stream tcp nowait lp
/usr/lib/cup/daemon/cups-lpd" to /etc/inetd.conf. inetd seemed to
restart okay, but I am still unable to do a lpr print and I am not sure
if cups-lpd is actually running.
Is there another approach that I should try?

Have you tried using proper CUPS commands?
I've not seen what distro you are using; you should ignore how-to not
specific to your distro. It _should_ just work (if you have the right
packages), it does for me with CentOS.
