Printing directly to an LPD device?

[Felix E. Klee]

I assume that it is not possible to sent a file directly to an LPD device
with CUPS' "lpr" without first connecting to the CUPS server.  Is that
assumption correct?

* If yes, what tools (for LINUX) are there to print directly to an LPD
  device?

* If no, what a I missing, i.e. how should the command line of "lpr" look
  for printing to an LPD device?
