First, check you have a device /dev/lp0 in /dev.
You probably don't have the "lp" driver loaded. Try "modprobe lp" and
then restart cups "sudo invoke-rc.d cupsys restart". If that was
missing, you should have /dev/lp0 (if it didn't exist and you are
using udev). Printing should now work.
If this fixes it, add "lp" to /etc/modules.

Roger
