So the lpr package is not installed on your system?
If not the only other thing I can recommend is shutting down all
services on your system one by one untill the message flood stops.
(tip: run tail -f /var/log/syslog in one terminal and stop the
services from another terminal.)
That way you can at least track down the culprit.
Just in case: stopping services can be done by executing (as root) the
scripts in /etc/init.d/ with the parameter "stop". E.g. to stop the
lp daemon that caused the problem on my box I used:
# ps -ef | grep lp # to see if the service is running
# /etc/init.d/lpr stop
The "catch" is that the daemon is (was) called lpd while the init
script was named after the package: lpr.
