Doug, On my systems, I do not start lpd out of inetd.conf. It's started at boot time, and runs until shutdown. If you want to run it out of inetd.conf, I guess you can, but why?
In any case, the message you're getting seems to indicate that some file can't be found. I'm guessing it's /usr/bin/lpd. On my systems, it would /usr/sbin/lpd.
