I didn't get any useful responses, but I managed to find the solution by
poking my head into sunsolve.sun.com.
I need the following line in my /etc/inetd.conf file to fix the problem:
printer stream tcp nowait root /usr/lib/print/in.lpd in.lpd
Then I rebooted my computer (kill -HUP <inetd pid> didn't work). I had
taken the line out several years ago for security purposes since computers
that don't host printers don't need this line.
