Thanks to everyone sent help.
The printer is working now.
I feel like a fool. The cable was loose. I would have expected an
error message that the printer was not ready. There probably was an
error message, it just didn't go anywhere that I would see it, or find
it afterwards.

A few days ago my system just stopped printing anything. Nothing
through Netscape. Nothing through WordPerfect. Nothing with 'lp
filename'. Even if, as root, I do a 'cat filename > /dev/lp0', I get
nothing.
If I do 'lpq' it says :
