Some things to check. 1. Is the printer really, REALLY, connected? I once wasted a day looking for a software problem, only to discover that the printer cable was not quite as tight as it should be. 2. HAL (assuming its running) has its own ideas about what the printer should be called. That causes confusion. 3. Check the CUPS printer page: http://localhost:631/printers. I have three entries for one printer, and not by choice. You may find that you do indeed have a working printer there. 4. Is your PRINTER env variable consistent with your CUPS name? Good luck.
