I wonder if you have moved the 'modules' directory to
a directory called 'VERSION' in /lib/modules ? :)
(you're supposed to replace 'VERSION' with the current kernel
version; however I guess it's preferrable to uses the make
target modules_install, see below)
in order to get it back and hopefully properly installed,
don't use the mv command to install modules. issue the
following:
(cd to the directory where you've built the kernel)
mv /lib/modules/VERSION modules
make modules_install
this will do the trick. (hopefully :) )

probably not - the lpr executable is not part of the
kernel. do you have installed the lpr package?
