You can find it by using the usual means.

$ which <program>

will tell you, what is the actual path it is using currently.

It should, if printer monitor service is installed.
Does not mean it will be an equal substitution.

Did you "find" it in WinSxS cache?

P.S.
It was a long time since I last tried smth like this, but I can replicte your
issues. Even if the job was sent to printer, it results in error.
On another hand, running text files trough

convert text:... pdf:- | lpr -lP '//$HOSTNAME/Device'

did produce some usable results. With PDFCreator.
It appears, the data sent to the printer must be understood by the printer
itself.
