Filing the bug
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=489765)
immediately produced an answer: you have to enter

gtk-print-backends = "file,lpr,cups"

in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.

Then lpr printing works with standard Debian packages. I think it
is a bug that this is not done automatically, or at least with
some warning during install. Anthony, I hope that this will work
in your case.

It will need some more research to find out why it worked by
default with the user-compiled versions, but I think I won't be
bothered.

Regards, Jan
