I don't know Redhat but I ran into similiar problem after upgrading to SuSE 5.1.
The "old" lpr has been replaced by lprng which behaves different. Fortunately I
remembered the following posting from July 97:

better, but you can already do
:pr=|lpr:
To get papd to use lpr instead of queueing directly. This appears
