Although I have made blunders like that in the past, in this case the file is fine.
]$ cat /etc/cups/lpoptions |/usr/bin/lpr -P laserjet lpr: stdin is empty, so no job has been sent. ]$ /usr/bin/lpr -P laserjet /etc/cups/lpoptions
The second works fine. It's a stdin problem I'm sure. Moreover rpm shows all the files are in order: ]$ sudo rpm -Vvf /usr/bin/lp | grep 'bin/lp' ........ /usr/bin/lp.cups ........ /usr/bin/lpq.cups ........ /usr/bin/lpr.cups ... etc

Is /etc/cups/lpoptions empty? Did you try "cat /etc/cups/lpoptions | /usr/bin/lpr -P laserjet" ?
