1) You should escape the pipe symbol, thus: -sOutputFile=\|lpr
otherwise the shell will get in the way.
2) Since gs is piping the output through lpr, maybe you should also post
here the contents of your /etc/printcap file, maybe there's a problem
there (actually, this is a bit strange, lpr should call gs, not the other
way around).
