Two things:
First, since '#' indicates a comment, it must be escaped using a
backslash. So:
lpr -\#2 foo.ps
Second, the maximum value you can use after the \# is determined by
that printer's entry in /etc/printcap. The default is '1'. Therefore,
unless you have set up that printer to allow more than one copy (with
a ':mc=2:' [e.g.] in /etc/printcap), then the above command will yield
the following error:
Fatal error - Maximum of 1 copies allowed
