You didn't do anything wrong
Instead you should check:
What printer daemon does I have? (lpr or lprng) -- I suggest lprng
To check this: dpkg -i | grep lpr
Does it is running?
To check this: ps ax | more
You should see a process like "lpd" or "LPD"
Does it is run at startup?
To check this: ls -l /etc/rc2.d/*lp*
Check /var/log/ and /var/spool/lpd files for error message diagnostics
Show us all this and the output of the "lpc status" command
regards,
Ulisses
