You can, via the "auth-info" option, specify the username and password to use with the remote server:

    lpr -o auth-info="username","password" filename

But specifying that option exposes your credentials in the output of "ps" (not to mention on the screen to someone looking over your shoulder) so I can't say it is a good idea.
