So it isn't the kernel config that's wrong.

No errors in /var/log/lp-errs of in /var/log/lp-acct?
Check the file permissions for the spool directory's and the file's that
are in these directory's. Also make sure that lpr is setuid-root.
You can also use the -D switch to turn debuggin on. Maybe it gives you
more usefull information 'bout what's going wrong.
