Sorry, I expected perhaps a little more Linux literacy.   There's 
nothing especially terse or esoteric in here, honest.

This almost centrainly means you're running CUPS -- the Commun UNIX 
Printing System ("rpm -qi cups" for slightly more information).    
"/sbin/chkconfig --list cups-lpd" should say

   cups-lpd        on

and "/sbin/service cups status" should say something like

   cupsd (pid 3330) is running ...

These things being the case, you won't be able to start lpd since that 
belongs to a different printing system and you can only have one 
printing system at a time(*).   Don't worry about it, just upgrade.
