lpr command line syntax

The Cygwin lpr command requires both server and printer names, i.e.,

$ lpr foo
Sends a print job to a network printer
Usage: lpr -S server -P printer [-C class] [-J job] [-o option] [-x] [-d] filename

And then the command fails.
Is this intended?
Linux will use environment variable defaults, will it not?
