I had similar problems until I removed lpr from the base. To do this, I
added this to /etc/make.conf:
WITHOUT_LPR=true
CUPS_OVERWRITE_BASE=yes
NO_LPR=yes
and then rebuilt and reinstalled world and cups.
Now I can print from everything - including, impressively, Lotus Notes
R5 running in wine.
You probably only need one of WITHOUT_LPR/NO_LPR, but darned if I know
which. The extra line in make.conf seemed simpler than trawling the
makefiles.
