Have you tried this?   cat file | lp ....

If this works, most likely the file you are trying to print with "lp file"
isn't readable by world.   Trying making the file readable... or use the
"-x" option to lp.  

	-x  Display error message if print job is not successful.
	    Display id if print job is successful.  Note that lp(1)
	    is silent by default.

$ lp -x file
lp: request not accepted

Most likely not readable by world ...
