You have probably managed to configure your machine to try and run
both the lpd(8) from the base system and the lpd from the lprNG port.
Which means the lprNG version can't start up because the base system
version has already bound the the lpd port. Make sure that your
/etc/rc.conf has only the lprng entries.

lpq(8) from the base system is being run, and that doesn't understand
the '-s' option used by lpq(8) from lprNG. Either you need to specify
the full path to the correct version of lpq (which will be
/usr/local/bin/lpq if you've installed lprNG from packages), or you
have to futz with the $PATH and put /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin.
Note that fiddling with the order of directories on the $PATH can
cause all sorts of weird effects in completely unrelated software so
test early and test often if you do that.
Cheers,
Matthew
