There are too many things (like browsers, muttprint, etc) that want to use
lpr. I had everything working nicely before my system hosed, so I'm sure
it's possible. I'm also pretty sure that I configured everything with
cupsys (i.e. even printcap for lpr). That's what has me totally confused
about why it's not working this time.

I don't think so... that file is totally empty!
