It looks like your CUPS setup is correct, at least it sent the job
through the filters and tried to send it to the device.

I don't know, but from your comment above I think it means the
parallel port isn't working.
You should see stuff (though maybe not useful stuff) if you cat a file
(try a plain text file) to the printer device. I reallly don't know
what the problem is since the boot messages look like it found the
hardware. You do have the printer plugged in, right (just checking
the basics)? Do you have the 'lp' module loaded in addiiton to
parport and parport-pc?
