Use the source (lpr.el).  That suggests you have lpr-headers-switches set,
and it specifies "-H".

Try setting lpr-headers-switches to nil, or using `M-x lpr' instead of

`M-x print'.

"Spooling" in this situation is just a reference to the behavior of the

Unix lpr command.  Make sure lpr-command is set correctly -- it should
probably be the same as ps-lpr-command.
