lpr will print "hello world" on your printer. This test only tells you that you are able to talk to your printer. It does not validate any printer config that you may have done. Once this works, then you can focus on setting up your print filters. Hopefully, your printer is supported or you will be looking at "Turboprint" to get printer support.
