That was also one problem when I tried converting from bsd's lpr to lprng. Anyway, the first thing I did was I purged lpr and magicfilter then reinstalled them again. then again, you might get away with just modifying /etc/printcap. Then selected the appropriate filter for my printer (mine was an HP Deskjet 670C - I set the filter to the economy-mode printer filter dj690c-low as indicated in the options in magicfilterconfig). i assume you know the naming conventions if you're using parallel port printers in the 2.2 or 2.4 kernel. what once was the /dev/lp1 device then is now the /dev/lp0 device in 2.4.
