I tried most all those permutations (although I omitted to say as much).
lp: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr -P laserjet --stdin lpr: Unknown option '-'! [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr -Plaserjet --stdin lpr: Unknown option '-'! [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr lpr: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr -- lpr: Unknown option '-'! [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr - lpr: Unknown option ''! [allan@array14 bin]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lp - lp: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. [allan@array14 bin]$
Thanks for the suggestions, but still NG

I just upgraded to Fedora core 2 from core 1, and now lp and lpr cannot read from standard input.
[allan@mybox bin]$ /usr/bin/lp < /etc/hosts lp: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. [allan@mybox bin]$ /usr/bin/lp /etc/hosts request id is laserjet-977 (1 file(s))
It does work if the output of a device is to standard input. I used the lpr -P (printerid) --stdin with Mozilla's print to send printer output to a specific printer and has since I 'discovered' this fix when using RH9.
How about trying the following and see if it works cat <file> | lp
