I then hand edited the printcap file to assign lp, lp-mono, etc.  I printed a simple text file and --- nothing.  The job showed in the queue for a few seconds and then disappeared.  Never saw any reaction that indicated the printer ever got any data.

To see if the port was blocked, I tried catting a small test file directly to /dev/lp0 and ....nothing.  I reconnected the old Canon printer and tried again. The file went through OK, so the port is up and alive.
