Thanks for the info could you answer a couple of other quick
questions...

One thing I noticed first time I printed is that output went to the
current default printer (as set by OS X's print center). Perhaps
"behind the scenes" Apple is setting things up so that lpr works?
What kind of printer is this? Is it a network printer? Does it
directly accept postscript?
Thanks a bunch!

Howdy,
I was wondering do you have gimp-print or some other aftermarket
printer driver installed? The reason I ask is that I could not print
Postscript via lpr using the default cups configuration because all
of my printer drivers wanted pdf and there is no ps->pdf filter. I
wrote one [one of those 5 minute tasks that takes all day :-( ] and
now everything works beautifully.
I am curious what was the difference between our systems as it just
seems to work for some people and not for others (at least me).
If there is any interest I can make my little filter available if
this actually is an issue for anyone.

Just try printing, you might be pleasantly surprised! I had just
installed ghostview (gv) via fink, loaded a postscript article and
tried printing. Ghostview sent the output to lpr, but otherwise
gave no feedback. I looked up the job in CUPS and... whoa... says
it's been printed on (my last selected) printer! I went to check
and, yes, it was sitting at the printer.
Very cool. I *love* it when things work automagically.
