I had a similar problem, I think the permissions and/or group assigments
are screwed up -- when I changed the permissions of /dev/usb/lp0 to
rw-rw-rw- the  queued jobs promptly appeared. (Probably not the correct
fix, I think the real problem is that there is an lp/lpadmin group
misassignment somewhere -- maybe someone else on this list can give the
correct answer).
