The 2.1.x kernels have had some problems with interrupt driven printing, try
using polling instead - "lptune" is the program you want. The other thing
is that you will probably want to use /dev/lp0 rather than /dev/lp1 (it
changed).
It's worth checking the kernel mailing list if you use 2.1.x (particularly
the newer ones!).
