'man cups-lpd' tells me:
DESCRIPTION
cups-lpd is the CUPS Line Printer Daemon ("LPD") mini-server that sup‐
ports legacy client systems that use the LPD protocol. cups-lpd does
not act as a standalone network daemon but instead operates using the
Internet "super-server" inetd(8) or xinetd(8). If you are using inetd,
add the following line to the inetd.conf file to enable the cups-lpd
mini-server:
printer stream tcp nowait lp /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd cups-lpd \
-o document-format=application/octet-stream
But the entry in /etc/inetd.conf is commented out at every cups update
that is coming from update repository. In front of that line #<off># is
put.
My whish: just do not disable cups-lpd at every update/install of cups
packages.

Please document more clearly the preference away from inetd
