CUPS installs its binaries into /usr/local/bin, if not compiled
with options saying otherwise (in which case it can replace the
system's programs). Depending on $PATH, /usr/bin/lpr or CUPS's
/usr/local/bin/lpr can be invoked. By explicitely using

	# /usr/bin/lpr /etc/printcap

for example, you can be sure to call the correct program.

By the way, using the printer's name as -P parameter for the
default printer's name (lp) is not needed. You can also use
the environment variable PRINTER to define a standard printer's
name instead of lp.

Do you mean /etc/devfs.conf, /etc/devfs.rules or /etc/devd.conf,
as the file system table doesn't seem to be involved here? :-)
