 dpkg -l | grep lp

shows
rc  lpr            2000.05.07-4.2 BSD lpr/lpd line printer spooling system

dpkg -l | grep magicfilter

rc  magicfilter    1.2-53         automatic printer filter.

dpkg -l | grep lprng
shows nothing.

but when I use dselect and search lpr (or magicfilter) it shows that
neither lpr nor magicfilter are installed.

Should I uninstall lpd?

When I look at /var/spool/lpd/hplj1200
or /var/spool/lpd/postscript I see only very old files (22 November)
and all files dated form 23 November to 9 March are only in
/var/spool/cups/:  the files come from root and non-root printing jobs.
