started from the commandline the error was:
sh: /bin/lpr not found

installing the package cups-bsd solved the problem

How about, in the meantime, using "lp -d" instead of "lpr -P", then? I hear that lp is the POSIX-standard print command, with lpr being a second-class citizen, or from the CUPS perspective, a compatibility layer. In Debian, lp is in cupsys-client, but you need cupsys-bsd to get lpr. Would this be a problem?

Is this still an issue in current (1.1.10 or newer) wine?

I can fix this, although I'll note it isn't a common issue as cups-bsd is part of the default install (it's in ubuntu-desktop)

Lubuntu does not include ubuntu-desktop as i understand so please add it.

Especially as it is not obvious that it is cups-bsd that you need to get the printing to work. There is no error message or anything that tells you what to install or change in the configuration.
