That reminds me of something else. I wonder if there is some assumption
being made based on a stale lock file. Try cd to /var/lock/, then run
this and see what it comes up with:
find . -name "*lp*" -xdev -print

There should be one entry for /var/lock/subsys/lpd, but no others if not
printing. Anything else might be left over and causing it to incorrectly
believe it is in use.
