It would surprise me (a lot) to learn that GVim truly isn't using CUPS.
On virtually every system I've used that has CUPS installed, `lpr` is
part of CUPS. (On OpenSUSE `lpr` is part of 'cups-client', under Gentoo
it's part of 'net-print/cups')
If you're sure it's not using CUPS and need to finagle it, take a look
in the help concerning the 'printexpr' option:
:help pexpr-option
Otherwise, to send output to a different printer, use the 'printdevice'
option:
:help 'pdev'
AFAIK, GVim won't use a standard "Print" dialog (though some of the help
text seems to suggest otherwise... maybe only on Win32?).
