LPR is a binary and so the output here is unexpected (as they look more like script errors). > bash-2.05b$ lpr test.txt > /usr/bin/lpr: line 12: */5: No such file or directory > /usr/bin/lpr: line 15: 0: command not found > /usr/bin/lpr: line 18: 1: command not found > /usr/bin/lpr: line 19: 15: command not found > /usr/bin/lpr: line 20: 30: command not found > /usr/bin/lpr: line 25: 1,31: command not found > /usr/bin/lpr: line 28: 1: command not found > I'm thinking that /usr/bin/lpr must be corrupted.

If you want to reinstall the lpr binary, you can either go through a make installworld process or install the binary on it's own by going into /usr/src/usr/sbin/lpr and doing a 'make install'.
