How about "ls -al | lpr"?
Have you installed any specific print packages?

Maybe you need to try reading some of the Printing HOWTOs to become
more familiar with the printing setups?

Try http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/categories.html
or  http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/os.html#OSPRINTING

If you are as new to Linux as you sound, you may want to find a
Linux user group in your area.
