Okay - I followed your instructions:
Froze lpr driver
started printing - the old printer setup was still in the pick list
selected the old printer setup - hit print>now, and it gave me a 'no
printer is connected' error
thawed lpr driver
still no Choose LPR printer option, and printing to the old setup
'works' again
