That should be all you need ...

You shouldn't need that.

Try locate.  Locate is fantastic.

For some wacky reason, lpd is missing from /usr/sbin.  Fortunately, you
have the source sitting there to build and install lpd.  Why not give
this a shot:

cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/lpr/lpd
make install

Then you'll have lpd installed, at least.  You ought to be able to start
it then. :)
