Thanks for the encouragement to believe lprng would work with 15.0.

But here's a thing: 

After dumping CUPS and installing lprng-3.8.28-i486-1.tgz from a
previous Slackware release package, it complained:

   libssl.so.0    not found
   libcrypto.so.0 not found

to which I responded:

     ln -s /usr/lib/libssl.so.1.1      /usr/lib/libssl.so.0      (15.0)
     ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.1.1   /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0   (15.0)

and it seems to be working fine.  I did the same thing with 14.2 with
no problems so far:

     ln -s /lib/libssl.so.1.0.0    /lib/libssl.so.0              (14.2)
     ln -s /lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 /lib/libcrypto.so.0           (14.2)

Is this likely to cause unexpected problems down the road? (I've had
mixed results in the past with this sort of ill-informed lib hack.)

Should I be looking for an lprng release newer thann 3.8.28 that
doesn't have xx.so.0 libs hard-coded?  Where you found yours,
perhaps? 

The only reason I was messing with CUPS was that, on 14.2, Seamonkey
would *only* "print to file" until you wrote what I would never have
discovered on my own (TYVM):

I needn't have bothered.  Seamonky 2.53.10.2  recognizes and offerrs
lpr as a print option without any gtk hack and it works with lpr(1).
