One ends with r?

Seriously, "lp" is the System V printing command and "lpr" is the
Berkeley printing command.  They provide essentially the same
functionality but use different command-line options.

Use whichever command you are comfortable with.  If you have never
used either command before, the "lp" command provides the most
complete functionality.
