I think I saw some noise on some list that you need cupsys-bsd to be able to use lpr. My HP 3325 just worked out of the box using the latest hpijs driver and with the following installed packages: cupsomatic-ppd cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint cupsys-pstoraster kdelibs3-cups libcupsys2 Also, if you have only 1 printer you may not need the -P option.
