This is also the case with Ubuntu Hardy!
Using strace it turns out that xfig is using lp instead of lpr so that
if the environment variables LPDEST or PRINTER have been set
a wrong print command is created (mixture of lp with BSD lpr options),
in this example the queue 'x1' is preselected via LPDEST/PRINTER:
[pid 16884] execve("/usr/bin/lp", ["lp", "-o raw", "-Px1"], [/* 42 vars
*/] <unfinished ...>
/usr/share/doc/xfig/README.gz says:
If you have a SYSV system but use BSD-style printing (lpr instead of lp) you
must define -DBSDLPR in the Imakefile/Makefile.
So either xfig needs to be recompiled with this option switched on or it needs
to be recompiled so that it will use SYSV options ("-d x1" instead of "-Px1").
