crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2007-01-17 05:48 /dev/lp0 I assume you've got a group of lp. Try playing around with permissions of /dev/lp0. Funny, I thought it may have been needed for the user to be a member of group lp but on my working system I'm not. Also in the cups admin page printing test pages is done by root so they should work if it's a permissions issue.
If I recall I did have some problems with an older version of cups but that was with networked printers I think. I think I also played with the BIOS setting for the parallel port settings. For me though once I actually got my port showing up it just worked. HTH, Joe
