   With the older xpdf from Slackware in the 14.x series, to "print to a   
   program" you had to prefix the command line with a pipe (|).  Try:   
      
   defaultPrinter "|lpr -P pdf2"

   This is likely the cause of your issue.  I am using the default CUPS   
   install.  CUPS on 14.x worked fine with my printer, and pointing 15.0's   
   CUPS at the printer's ipp: port, and loading the PPD I had found online   
   when I first bought the printer, brought everything up in working   
   order.

   Try my pipe suggestion above.

   This particular bother was likely brought on by your "expunging cups",   
   so it is not Slackware's fault.  You have only yourself to blame for   
   that decision and the fallout that results therefrom.
