Everyone, thanks, for your assistance. My SuSE Linux Enterprise Server for S/390 was making conflict statements that I did not understand about cups, plp, lprold, and lprng. Plus there was a dependency with xpp (cups front-end) that I did not understand. After taking the advice of several people, I removed the packages using YaST2 and reinstalled plp. Now I can print.

Also, check /etc/init.d/rc3.d directory for the Start and Kill links for lpd (S10lpd and K10lpd on my system), if they exist you might be conflicting with the inetd line and all you may have to do is remove the inetd entry and yoyo that daemon (/etc/init.d/lpd restart).
