Answering myself ... I have now found "man lpr" saying
SEE ALSO
http://localhost:631/help
So I used that file for help and ended up doing
lpstat -p
to get printer name and then
lp -d some_very_weird_printer_name_ myfile.pdf
and that works perfectly.
Still, I'm very very confused about why most files print out OK. It is
most probably a bug in Apple's software then (maybe not handling
OpenType fonts properly, but I never had any single problem with
TeX-generated files until today).
On the other hand I have updated the system to 10.6.7 a few hours ago,
but I simply cannot imagine that an update would completely break
printing.
