After receiving several suggestions, all incorrect, I have tracked
down the problems with lpd. The basic problem is that the version of
/etc/rc shipped with SLS does not create files that the daemons (in
general, not just lpd) need, and the daemons sometimes won't create
them for themselves. In the case of the lpd, I believe it was the log
file that it wanted.
I found the problem using syslogd, which /etc/rc wasn't starting, and
which is another of those daemons that won't create its own log file.
When I finally get things sorted out I'll post some configuration files.
