* lpr: updated

`lpr --help` yields:
`Usage: lpr [options] [file(s)]
Options:
-# num-copies           Specify the number of copies to print
-E                      Encrypt the connection to the server
-H server[:port]        Connect to the named server and port
-m                      Send an email notification when the job completes
-o option[=value]       Specify a printer-specific option
-o job-sheets=standard  Print a banner page with the job
-o media=size           Specify the media size to use
-o number-up=N          Specify that input pages should be printed N-up (1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16 are supported)
-o orientation-requested=N
                        Specify portrait (3) or landscape (4) orientation
-o print-quality=N      Specify the print quality - draft (3), normal (4), or best (5)
-o sides=one-sided      Specify 1-sided printing
-o sides=two-sided-long-edge
                        Specify 2-sided portrait printing

-T title                Specify the job title
-U username             Specify the username to use for authentication`

Here, it says that that in stead of underscores at two_sided_long_edge, it should have dashes, two-sided-long-edge. Without these, the command is essentially useless.
