That's good -- it means the printer itself and the parallel port work.
Now all you need to do is set up the spool in cups. Point a web
browser that understands auth (not 'links') at http://localhost:631/.
Click on "printers" and "add printer". Pick the driver that
corresponds to your model and use "parallell:/dev/lp0" as the device
URI.
For drivers, these packages are good :
cupsomatic-ppd
cupsys-driver-gimpprint
