It is expected behavior. FreeBSD's lpd had been broken for a long
time, and recently fixed accidentally.
However, many clients break lpr's traditional scheme. So, new option
-W was added. From man lpd:
-W By default, the lpd daemon will only accept connections which
originate from a reserved-port (<1024) on the remote host. The
-W flag causes lpd to accept connections coming from any port.
This is can be useful when you want to accept print jobs from
certain implementations of lpr written for Windows.
Sincerely,
