Does lpr.exe actually physically exist in c:\windows\system32 as you
have indicated in the your earlier posts? I.e. if you actually browse
system32 with the file manager will you see lpr.exe? The problem with
your question is that it's not a standard command, so none of the rest
of us have it, which means we're half-blind trying to find your problem.
