What kind of printer do you have? "man -t " will write postscript to stdout. If you have a postscript printer then simply pipe it into lpr. If you don't have a postscript printer you might seriously consider inserting ghostscript in your lpr filters. These days having a postscript printer is about as handy as an FPU, you can live without, but its a pain.
