That's not fine ... I thought lprng was the standard, so I didn't consider

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's the problem there is no daemon so you can't even connect to your
printer.
Can you start lpd by hand?
I think there is a debug option leaving it in the foreground (maybe -F,
have a look). It would be interesting why the daemon can't be started.
If it starts, try printing again.
I saw there is a bug-report concerning your problem (#45527).
So, I think, you could contact the reporter or the maintainer, if there is no
other solution.

Must be the daemon lpd, see above

Sorry for more enthusiasm than resources
