Seems like maybe you didn't define the ps-lpr-destination variable
correctly.  You can check it with C-h v ps-lpr-destination
It should look something like(assuming you didn't change my definitions):
ps-lpr-destination's value is ("\\\\server\\ps_printer")

Documentation:
*The UNC style location for Postscript print jobs
The default is \\thames\colorado.
Remember to escape the backslashes(use '\\' for each '\') for emacs.

--------------------

Also, is there any output in the *messages* buffer? It should report on the
results of the shell command there.
