lpd sounds like a wired connection (if that is the IP for your printer).

Running 'lpinfo -v' on my machine with a wireless printer I get:
network ipp
network ipp14
network socket
network ipps
serial serial:/dev/ttyS0?baud=115200
network http
network https
network lpd
network smb
direct parallel:/dev/lp0
network ipp://192.168.0.109
network socket://[fe80::215:99ff:fe86:9873%eth0]
network dnssd://URI_with_printer_name._printer._tcp.local/
network socket://192.168.0.109

In the printer configuration I have Device URI set to "ipp://192.168.0.109". 
Check the Device URI entry you have set.
