Likely that I used the Apsfilter default printer name of "lp" and yours is not.
/usr/local/bin/printing.lua is a script that I use everyday. If you can print from the command line then you can drag-n-drop text or postscript files to print. I always print to file from each application. Then when I am ready to actually print, I drag the .txt or .ps onto the printing desktop icon.
I suggest to look at the script and look at the second to last line.

#!/bin/lua
-- (c) 2007 Robert Shingledecker
-- Lua script to support printing via dfm printing icon.
function checkPrintcap()
printcap,err = io.popen("ls -s /opt/printcap|awk '{print $1}'")
printcapSize = printcap:read("*l")
printcap:close()
return printcapSize
end
if checkPrintcap() == "0" then
response = fltk.fl_choice("No printer found!\nSetup Printer Now?","No","Yes",NULL)
if response == 1 then
os.execute('aterm -T "apsfilter" -e sudo /usr/share/apsfilter/SETUP')
if checkPrintcap() == "0" then
os.exit(1)
else
os.execute('touch /tmp/printer.flag')
end
else
os.exit(1)
end
end
lprTest = io.popen("ps | grep lpd | grep -v 'grep lpd'")
lprCheck = lprTest:read("*l")
lprTest:close()
if lprCheck == nil then
print("Starting lpd...")
os.execute("sudo /usr/sbin/lpd")
end
if #arg == 1 then
os.execute("lpr -h -Plp "..arg[1])
end

Change the os.execute to your specific needs.
