What's going on here?

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 output of checkpc, and some other info...
