FC2 printing problem

Hello all,
I have a nice old Canon BJ-200 ink jet printer attached to the parallel port
of my computer. The unit has FC1 upgraded to FC2 and is reasonably smooth
running. But I can't print. The cable and printer are known good, I can boot
of a DOS floppy and print text that way.
I've used the printer configuration tool to add the printer, the driver is the
one recommended and I can not print. The option is there, the printer
indicated on the print menu is correct, but when I push "print" nothing
happens, the data just goes away.
I am not able to print a test page in the printer configuration dialogue, the
printer is highlighted but the "test" menu is grayed out and not available.
I am logged in as a regular user, not root.
Ideas?
Dave
