Quick and dirty: "cat /etc/cups/printers.conf | grep URI"

With "lp" you can select the printer to use (lp -d printer) but is a one-
time option. You can set the default printer via CUPS web interface
("printers" tab / "set as default" button) or using command line tool
("lpoptions -d printer").

Open CUPS web interface and look for any error in the printer status. You
can try to restart CUPS service ("/etc/init.d/cups restart") and try to
print again.
