My /etc/printcap only lists a non-existing dot matrix printer
and lpr works fine here.
Try this
~# which lpr
/usr/bin/lpr
~#dpkg -S /usr/bin/lpr
cups-client: /usr/bin/lpr
If cups-client is not shown then remove the lpr package and install
the cups-client package.
Don't know what else to suggest.

REPLACE all mention of cups-client with cups-bsd above.
Perhaps not what the OP wanted, but I find Cups a nightmare and always
use magicfilter. Very easy to configure and always works for me, with at
least 5 different printers.
I to have an old testing partition that will not print with Cups. It
hasn't for about 3 years now. I used magicfilter to get it working though.
When Cups works it is great, it is working now on 3 partitions now,
stable, stable upgraded to wheezy and stable upgraded to sid. I also
have the Magicfilter package for them, just in case. ;-)
