Well perhaps the lpr package tried to access a printer connected to a parallell port? I don't know: I configured my (USB)printer using Cups and it (still) works. I can't remember ever configuring lpr, perhaps it looks for a parallel printer with its default settings? Anyway: removing lpr solved the problem for me, hopefully it does so too for the OP. If so should we consider this a bug in the lpr package?
