Perhaps it's time to check your glasses prescription.  Cut-n-paste from
the manual appended below (just pulled up the manual.txt file, and
searched on "print").  Yes, it is "p", as you tried, and the defaults
should work to first order - assuming your system admin has set up a
default printer queue - but what is set up in your .muttrc?  Perhaps
there's some goop in there that's messing you up.

No icons - yuck!  I use a text mode mailer to avoid icons :)

FWIW, here's my own .muttrc customization, for my own local printer and
using a2ps to pretty-print the email:

set print_cmd="a2ps -g -Email -P lp7"
set print=ask-yes               # ask me if I really want to print messages

---------------------from manual.txt--------------------------------------

6.3.118.  print

  Type: quadoption
  Default: ask-no

  Controls whether or not Mutt asks for confirmation before printing.
  This is useful for people (like me) who accidentally hit ``p'' often.


  6.3.119.  print_command

  Type: string
  Default: lpr

  This specifies the command pipe that should be used to print messages.
