I think you will find it is from the 'lpr' package
Which I do not have installed.  Nor lprng.  Instead, I have cups-bsd.
Each of them privides its own /usr/bin/lpr file.

Online I'm told the way to specify my printer is to use the -S option on
lpr and give it an IP number, but the man page for lpr does not have
that option.  Presumably cups-bsd, which is what I have installed,  does
not have that option.  So presumably it's time to uninstall cups and all
its relativees and relations and install lpr.

Then see if this is the right /usr/bin/lpr.

It isn't and installing lpr will take a lot of cups off.
