Thanks Pete,
I did follow your suggestions:

(setq ps-lpr-command "mp | lp")
(setq ps-lpr-switches '("-l" " -s"))


But when trying to print I get this message:
Searching for program: No such file or directory, mp | lp

It is possible that ps-lpr-command expects the path of the printing program, 
not a command.
