Printing using CUPS from the command line.



When I try to print a file from the shell ( lpr file ) the job is queued and I fail to print, but using startoffice or mozilla, everything I intend to print is printed with absolutley no problems. I´ve checked my printer with lpstat and it "accepts requests", so I am a bit lost (should I say completely?:-)).
I sniffed around and found (to my surprise) that the command line for printing in Mozilla was lpr, with no arguments. What am I doing wrong?
I use HP Laserjet 5L and have the ppd file for it.
Thanks in advance everybody. See you.
