If cups-bsd is not shown then remove the lpr package and install
the cups-bsd package.
Thanks. Yes, with cups-bsd installed, lpq and lpr work
for localhost and for other Debian systems on the LAN.
Matt,
lpstat -t gives you all you wanted to know about your queues.
Thanks. t is my test file. lp t works. lpr t fails.

My /etc/printcap only lists a non-existing dot matrix printer

Try this
~# which lpr
/usr/bin/lpr
~#dpkg -S /usr/bin/lpr
cups-client: /usr/bin/lpr
If cups-client is not shown then remove the lpr package and install

Bingo! Thanks. I'll try it when at home again on the weekend.
No doubt it
CUPS supports printing using the menus in Leafpad and in iceweasel.
Yet lpstat reports no printers are available but a default is available.
