Raul Deluth Miller:
. >lpr `set | egrep \^lpargs | cut -d= -f2-`

Rob McMahon:
. Sorry, it doesn't work.  This splits all the arguments at white
. space (returning 9 arguments "x" "y" "z" "x" "y" "z" "x" "y" "z"
. instead of 3 "x y z" "x y z" "x y z" in the example.  Using quotes:

Sorry, I don't normally worry about that issue.  Try

eval lpr `set | egrep \^lpargs | cut -d= -f2- | while read l; do echo
   \"$l\"; done`

Again, if you do this a lot, put it in a shell script.
