using lpr with a second printer

I now have a braille embosser as lp1. I can run it using
cat (filename) >/dev/lp1
but I can't figure out how to get it to work with an lpr command. I see that
there is a -P (printer) option, but I don't know what I am to use with the -P.
It didn't like lp1 or /dev/lp1. Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks.

Cheryl
