Yes. Mail me if you would like a copy. Here is the readme:

While 386/ix (tm Interactive) has a number of network services from BSD,
lpr is not one of them. This does not cause a real problem, as the
shell scripts of lp can be used to perform remote printing. It is
not a very good solution when interacting with other Sun or BSD
systems.

Jonathan C. Broome <wilbur!jon> did the original port to 386/ix from the
freed lpr sources. I added a few modifications, and re-did the context
diffs from the tar file on uunet (~ftp/bsd-sources/src/network/lpr.tar.Z)

No guarantee that this will work for you, but it works for me.

To use:

Unpack the shell archive, then apply the two patch files lpr.diff.1 
and lpr.diff.2 with patch. The unaltered source files from the lpr 
tar file must be used. The C files included must be in the lpr
directory.
