I recently did this. It was actually quite straightforward.

First, I made a copy of my working /etc/printcap

Then I purged lpd using dselect

Then I selected cupsys in dselect and took all the suggestions.

After that everything worked so well I can't really remember what I
did. Had to read a few documents, a few false starts but nothing out
of the ordinary.

I have a HP Deskjet 672C on a parallel port.
