I had similar problems when I installed the original Slackware release.
I discovered that there were different versions of lpd and friends in a couple
of the directories. I used `find' to get a list of all files starting with
`lp', and then I used `strings' to pick out the version numbers of each. I
deleted the old and saved the new. I had to change the lpd startup in
/etc/rc.local.
Once I removed the mismatched software, and started the current
daemon, everything worked smoothly.
