According to
https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/policy-query.html?c=file&q=bin%2Flpr&x=submit
there are three packages providing "bin/lpr":
    cups-bsd
    lpr
    lprng

Which one do you have? Are they all the same?
I think they are somewhat different and from memory I think the cups-bsd
variant is best integrated with cups.
