And how did you print from other stuff? That also needs lpr. Especially
on text-console machines, which is this is for.

Uhm, no?

$ cat /etc/Muttprintrc 
# MUTTPRINT configuration file
#
# ~/.muttprintrc or /etc/Muttprintrc

#
# Here you can configure your printer
# To print in a file, use the following entry:
# PRINTER="TO_FILE:/home/berwal/test.ps"
#PRINTER="lp"

#
# Here you can set the print command
# $PRINTER is substituted by the PRINTER
# variable
#PRINT_COMMAND="lpr -P$PRINTER"
PRINT_COMMAND="lpr"
[...]

so you easily can define my_print_command.sh which does something, not
requiring "lpr" :-)

But yeah, that probably should be added nevertheless, maybe as
