That did the trick. I am now able to use lpr with a CUPS printer. For my next challenge I am trying to share a cups printer. Samba is sharing out my printer, and I can install it on my pc, but Windows shows its status as "Access Denied, Unable to Connect". I am not sure if this is a CUPS or a Samba problem.

The easiest and safest thing to do would be to "removepkg lprng" and then "installpkg cups". Most of the packages have a "install/doinst.sh" file in them that does things like set up symbolic links, etc., so that really should get run again. The "installpkg cups" command will make that happen.
