If it's a linux binary, this looks a lot like a problem I've had before. See if you have a tmp directory hiding under /compat somewhere; if you do, make it a symbolic link to /tmp. Actually, you may be able to remove it. I've just checked two machines around here, and one (the one SO 3.? is on) has /compat/linux/tmp (which I've symlinked to /tmp), and the other (which has never had SO installed) doesn't have it. At any rate, SO is apparently saving the print file in what it thinks is /tmp but is actually /compat/linux/tmp, so lpr can't find it.
