In which configuration file do I enter the directory/file "/usr/sbin/lpd"?  The instructions seem to say to put it in bootlocal.sh.

Most fundamentally, can anyone PLEASE explain why I have to keep reinstalling the printer every time I boot up?  IT'S SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll probably want to put the export command in either /etc/profile (global) or ~/.bash_profile (user, depending on shell).

~/.xinitrc could work as well, but only for X sessions.  I think bootlocal.sh is executed as root in another shell session so it might not be kept/propagated.

..you don't...but need to save (and load)  configuration files. I put
/usr/sbin/lpd  in /opt/bootlocal.sh  DSL runs in ram, which is why it's so fast.

When I type in the command "/usr/sbin/lpd" in a shell, I get the error message "Fatal error - Another print spooler active, possibly lpd process '529'".

What does this mean?

just write it in /opt/bootlocal.sh and reboot. Maybe you've got multiple spoolers loaded, I don't know.
