Did you remove the hash ('#') in the beginning of the line and did you
restart the CUPS daemon (/etc/rc.d/init.d/cups restart)?

You do not need to add the printer which is once installed under CUPS
again, the /etc/printcap is always automatically updated when necessary.

What is your default printer (/etc/cups/client.conf,
/etc/cups/lpoptions, ~/.lpoptions, last file has highest priority)? Does
this printer exist? Did you try to print with xpp? You can also set xpp
as printing command.
Try also to replace the "lpr" commands by "lpr-cups" commands. If this
is necessary, deinstall or update the lpr package.
