it is actually:
aptitude purge lpr

and when you do that, it "suggests" you install cups-bsd, so your next 
aptitude install isn't necessary:


0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 410kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libwine-print: Depends: cups-bsd but it is not installable or
                          cupsys-bsd but it is not installable or
                          lpr but it is not installable
  lsb-core: Depends: lpr but it is not installable
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

Install the following packages:
cups-bsd [1.3.8-1+lenny7 (stable, stable)]

Score is 39

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] 
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  cups-bsd{a} 
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  lpr{p} 


> aptitude install cups-bsd libwine-print lsb-core

now, to see what happens!
thanks for  the info!!
