I'll bet it doesn't!  From the lpr manpage:
No formatting is done -- data is sent "raw".

This means your printer has to understand *raw* text, which is what the 'ls' command generates.  Many printers can do this, but U'll probably have to play with driver setup to make it work.



BTW, I didn't see this thread on gmane yet, so I just started it over.  I apologize for messing up threading, but I just *had* to reply.
