The -U option is used to specify a user name for the
job. This is available only to ROOT or users listed
in the allow_user_setting configuration option. This
is obviously a security loophole, but it is present
to allow systems such as SAMBA to submit jobs on
behalf of users. See Authenticated Transfers below.
I doubt whether you were running lpr as root, so probably
specifying -U caused lpr to fail.
