This works great for me. Except that I use lp -d printername filename.txt
instead of the command you're using. I can print to any printer that I set up
in CUPS on the webserver. I do this from webpages so I'm sure you can get it
to work with CRON.
$filename = uniqid("").".txt";
$filehandle = fopen($filename,"w");
fwrite($filehandle, "Hello World");
fclose($filehandle);
system("lpr -P hp1300n ".$filename);
