Just check following:
a) If lp0 or lp1 is being recognised by your kernel (do a dmesg
and check). Printer support is to be compiled into kernel either
static or loadable.
b) set up printer using magicfilter or apsfilter. Unlike RH
there is no printtool utility in debian. Default /etc/printcap
may not work.
