Optional Features:
  --disable-FEATURE       do not include FEATURE (same as --enable-FEATURE=no)
  --enable-FEATURE[=ARG]  include FEATURE [ARG=yes]
  --enable-unixsocket               add unix socket for localhost connections
  --disable-setuid                  do not install client executables setuid root
  --enable-priv_ports               require connections from privileged ports
  --disable-force_localhost         disable force_localhost default
  --disable-require_configfiles     client programs require lpd.conf, printcap

  --enable-kerberos                 enable kerberos support
  --enable-mit_kerberos4            enable MIT Kerberos 4 support

Try using:

This will not cause lpr not to check for the lpd.conf file...
