Problem with printing

Hi ,

Can somebody Please help me in finding out where I am going wrong.
Suppose i have a file called r_wer which contains files.
for ex :
LMN20001
LMN20002
LMN20003
Now I want to print them.

The way I am doing is
$ for a in `cat '/r_wer'`
> do
> lp -d printername $a
> done

But it is giving me an error message.
lp: can't access file "LMN20001"
lp: request not accepted. This is with all the files.
Can somebody Please help me.
