Mike,
That is not the correct lpr option. I don't even think -K is a lpr option at
all. The proper option for multiple copies is -# followed by the number of
copies without a space.
I suggest you use lprng rather than lpr as it has many useful features for
network printing as well as adjunct utilities to enhance it moreso.
