Could you not have used online check-in forLAN.
No. I tried online check-in for this flight on all 3 airline's website (LA, AA, BA) and it said it couldn't be done online.

I would find it weird that luggage would be tagged thru without you being checked in
At check-in they simply said "you'll have to collect your boarding pass at JFK, but your bags are checked through to your final destination". The fact the bags were tagged to the final destination, not to mention the fact I have flown hundreds of times previously and never encountered a problem anything like this, made me believe I was checked-in in for the JFK-LIM flight, but for some reason they were unable to print the boarding pass.

Yes, I know. So, with a legal connection time of 1:15, there was nothing else I could assume other than that I was checked in, but needed to collect boarding pass, as it would have been blatantly obvious that I wouldn't make the connection if I wasn't checked-in for that flight before arriving at JFK.
