Phew. This sounds like mutt is doing something wrong. I don't use it,
so can't offer anything substantive.

I am not optimistic that messing with lpr or lprng, which chiefly handle
queuing, doing precious little for text, will solve the mutt problem.
Can you get mutt to print to a file? maybe try
set print_command="/usr/bin/cat >/tmp/printtest"
and examine what mutt puts out.
