Messages sent to printer fail to arrive

[Felix Karpfen <felixk@webone.com.au>]

I have just completed a clean install of Debian 3.1r1 on a new HD.

Most of it works like a charm. 

CUPS (foomatic) identified my aged printer and supplied the correct
driver. But the test message failed to arrive.

The following info probably contains the needed clue(s):

>From syslog:
- kernel: lp0 using parport0 (interrupt drive)
- udev[3234] creating device node under '/dev/lp0'

>From printer configuration:

- Interface

-Printer on Local System
-Connected to Parallel Port #1
-URI parallel: /dev/unknown-parallel0

All suggetions (other than buy a new printer) will be gratefully received.
