As a matter of fact, using the ports, I have compiled and installed LPRng, apsfilter, cups, magicfilter over and over again, and now in the various ../bin or ../sbin dir I find at list a couple of lpr, lpc, lpr, and so on.

for each that you wish to delete. You also might have to use -r, -R or -f options. Have a look at
# man pkg_delete

Could you please suggest a correct procedure to do it?
