[ale] Cups strikes again.

[Dow Hurst]

Under IRIX the cups install replaces the lp subsystem so the lp commands 
interface with cups.  Maybe you should not use lpr but lp.  The lp man 
pages ought to show cups integration in the explanation.  Email the cups 
  mailing list or look at the docs on www.cups.org to see if there is 
any info on the Linux installation.
