How customized is your emacs?  What are the values of the following
emacs lisp variables?  (Type C-H v (control-H + v) followed by the
name of the variable):

  lpr-command
  lpr-switches

Does printing from other programs work okay.  Try using a2ps from a
command line on a short text file and see if that looks okay.
