Maybe you ran into the same thing as I did a few days ago:

Cups comes with its own lpr, /usr/local/bin/lpr.
The apps try the base system lpr in /usb/bin.

You may have to adjust your $PATH to have /usr/local/bin first,
or backup /usr/bin/lpr and ln -s /usr/local/bin/lpr /usr/bin/lpr
Last method has to be repeated after any installworld.
