lprng works but doesn't print



What's going on here?

# netstat -ptunl | grep lpd

My printer is on the parallel port, detected and configured with
lprngtool.  It prints the ascii directly to port test, but the regular
ascii and postscript tests immediately show up in the queue with a Rank =
done but they they didn't print, see above.

The only think I can imagine is it's not looking at the search (domain)
directive in /etc/resolv.conf, otherwise trot.local resolves corectly in
dns.

Here's the printcap, 

#
# This printer configuration file was created with lprngtool v.1.1.1
# Any changes made here manually may be lost if lprngtool
# is run later on.
#
# It is NOT advisable to modify this file by hand.  To add, modify, or
# remove printers, please use 'lprngtool' to avoid corruption.

Any ideas?
