This doesn't remove any scripts. The way sysV bootup works is that
all scripts are stored $SOMEWHERE/init.d/ and then there are symlinks
to $SOMEWHERE/rc<runlevel>.d/ for each program that you want to run
at each runlevel. $SOMEWHERE depends on linux distribution. In Debian
it's /etc, in Redhat it's /etc/rc.d/ .
All I'm suggesting he do is remove the symlink that runs lpd from
the directory which contains scripts for his default runlevel.
The script will still be in $SOMEWHERE/init.d/
have fun
