Printing through RDP with HLIP (using CUPS)

Hey list

I've been having trouble getting rdesktop to print locally using the
HPLIP (http://hplip.sourceforge.net) system, which in turn uses CUPS for
queue management. 

The problem is that rdesktop tries to use "lpr", while HPLIP (and CUPS)
uses "lp" for printing. When trying to print, rdesktop blows up with the
following error:

"sh: lpr: command not found"

Has anyone succeeded in using lp to print from rdesktop, instead of lpr?

The machine is running Debian with the packages "hplip", "cupsys" and 
"cupsys-client" installed. rdesktop is compiled from 1.5.0 source with 
the xcreateimage patch applied. 


Best regards
