With lpr, you get lpq, which is roughly analogous to lpstat.  lpstat is
the System V-style command, while lpq is the BSD-style.  For the
commands that I know,

System V                BSD
--------                ---
lp                      lpr
lpstat                  lpq
cancel                  lprm

There may be others, but those are the only ones I use.

If you install lprng, it will replace lpr.  If you install
cupsys-client, you will want to install cupsys, and will have no need
for lpr.

I would suggest using cupsys (+ cupsys-client + cupsys-bsd) as it has a
nice friendly web interface (point your browser to http://localhost:631/
after installing it).
