I will quote the man page for lpr:

       -P printer
            By default, the destination printer is taken from the
            command  line  printer  value,  then  the environment
            variables PRINTER, LPDEST, NPRINTER, NGPRINTER,  then
            first  entry  in  the  printcap  information, and and
            finally the default_printer entry from the configura­
            tion file, and then the compile time default.

If your program isn't using lpr, then I can't help you.  Almost every 
program I know of uses lpr in some way, shape, or form.
