Not working for me:

[chris at p733 ~]$ lpr /home/chris/Desktop/Calendar.pdf
lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[chris at p733 ~]$ /usr/bin/lpr /home/chris/Desktop/Calendar.pdf
/usr/bin/lpr: Error - no default destination available.
[chris at p733 ~]$ su
Password:
[root at p733 chris]# /usr/bin/lpr /home/chris/Desktop/Calendar.pdf
/usr/bin/lpr: Error - no default destination available.
