What makes you think that File::Copy's "copy" supports printing directly to a printer this way? According to "perldoc File::Copy", if the argument is a string, it is assumed to be the name of a file. This is not the case here, so I doubt this will work... I suggest either using the Net::Printer module (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-Printer/) or manually opening a filehandle to an "lp" process and providing that filehandle as the argument to "copy".
