The source for lpr and lpd is available from uunet.uu.net in
bsd-sources/src/network/lpr.tar.Z

It's a start, anyway.

By the way,  Does anyone have an lpd which runs under MS-DOS?

lpd on an MS-DOS machine???  I wouldn't want to port it.  lpd forks
children to handle each request, and MS-DOS is reputed to have a
few bugs in the fork() call.... :-)
