Hi,
Try it (only a suggestion):
As root, run printerdrake.
Delete your printer if it's present.
Reboot.
As root, run printerdrake.
Change printerdrake to expert mode.
Change the print system to LPRng.
Add your printer.
Print the test page. If no page is printed, tell us the exact error
message.
By the way, what security level has your LM?
Did you downloaded your copy of LM8.1?
Oscar.
