>Description:
lp(1) allows the setting of the default printer via 
Environment Variables (LPDEST or PRINTER).
lprm(1) only recongnizes PRINTER, therefore if
the default printer is set only in LPDEST, then 
lprm(1) does not behave as expected since PRINTER
may be null(non-exsistant).
>How-To-Repeat:
setenv LPDEST (yourprinter)
lp (afile)
lprm -
>Fix:
add LPDEST as an option to lprm(1)
or 
document this failing in lp(1) and lprm(1)
