If you're connected with putty, then it sounds like you're using
windows at home, and are connecting remotely to the gnu/linux machine
at your school. If this is the case, then invoking the lpr command
would use your school's printer, and not your home printer.

To retrieve previously typed commands, press up arrow until you get to
the command you want. Once you're on that command, you can move
through it with left/right arrow, use backspace to delete, and can of
course type new characters to make a new command out of the old one.
