Did you also *remove* the version of CUPS which got installed? If
not, you probably still have /usr/local/bin/lpr as the CUPS-based
version of lpr.

My guess is that you're getting the CUPS-version of `lpr', but you're
still running the standard daemon for FreeBSD's `lpr'. The simple
test would be to:
mv /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/local/bin/lpr-cups
and then try printing from kde. If that solves your problem, then
move that binary back to /usr/local/bin/lpr, find out which of the
CUPS-related ports you have installed, and pkg_deinstall them.
