I called this in as a bug a while back (I'm assuming that
you're running SR10.1). The answer was that there is a bug
in the 10.1 version of lpr/lpd that prevented a daemon from
being started if you tried to queue a print job from a node
that was not running lpd already. It is supposed to be fixed
in 10.2, but the workaround given was to run lpd on every
node in the network.
