Have you set a default printer for the system?  If you haven't, try that and 
no printer statement is needed.

Or if you want to set a default printer for the backup user you can set
LPDEST=lpr
or
PRINTER=lpr
provided that's a defined printer name and again you'll need no printer 
definition in the conf file.
