What happens with:

    cat test123 | lp -s -dmain

(ie: a pipe to the exact command you specified to filePro.)

And, since two other people in the past few days had almost identical
questions, and the solution for both of them was to add "-oraw" to the
command line, what if you set the destination to "lp -s -dmain -oraw"?
