There's more in depth documentation at /usr/share/doc/muttprint
I use CUPS as my printing system and lpr/lp works fine.

You'll have to ask someone more experienced with printing. Printing just
works for me (postscript printers rule)

What does lpq say?

gee@duck:~$ lpq
OPTRAT610 is ready
no entries

Stuff the printer name into lpr, e.g.

gee@duck:~$ lpr -P OPTRAT610 testfile

What happens?

You can use lprm - -P OPTRAT610 to cancel all jobs to the printer.
