Which chkconfig?  The RH7.3 chkconfig-1.3.5-3 has it.

After more research, I found some instructions where somebody had forced a
cups rpm install without /usr/sbin/alternatives & then just made links for
lpc, lpr, lprm, lpq, cancel, etc...  So that's what I did & it seems to be
working fine so far.
