Actually I think there is, at least for the version which I am using.
(My version of lpr doesn't have an -h option. It is not documented in
the lpr manual page and while lpr accepts it, it doesn't seem to do
anything.)
If you say,
strace -e trace=open lpr file_to_be_printed
you can see which files lpr opens (or tries to). At least on my system
one of them is .lpoptions. See "man lpoptions" for more.
