I have the same problem with an ink jet parallel printer. I think the problem is in the 'lp_server' daemon.
If I connect a dot matrix parallel printer or a usb printer, it works. But if I connect an ink jet parallel printer (EPSON C43 SX), it doesn't work.
With all the printers I test, I can cat a file and send to the /dev/lp0 or /dev/usb/lp0 depending on the printer type.
With de ink jet parallel printer, I can telnet to the terminal on port 9100, before of that if i try to cat a file to /dev/lp0 it responds 'Device is busy'. That means the daemon is listening, but doesn't print anything.
Thanks.

Hello all, I think I'm too old... :) But anyway, I can't print on a parallel printer using LTSP 4.2 with usb printers it's all ok. Being more specific: In terminal, dmesg shows that parpport0 is linked to lp0, the printer type is detected, I can cat a file and send to the /dev/lp0 and it's printed. But when I go to the cups and send some page trough it... nothing happens, it doesn't get printed. I can telnet to the terminal in port 9100... The /var/log/cups/error_log doesn't print nothing usefull. I can see the socket jobs gets open listing 'ps aux | get sock' and the 'netstat -an | grep 9100' shows the socket with the estabilished connection to the right ip. The terminal knows it name, and the ip address is correctly assigned. I can't see nothing wrong.
