That's amazing, I just bought one of these the other day at the local goodwill.

The jobs queue OK, but don't go > through to the terminal/printer...... I bet that lpd doesn't have permissions to write to your terminal while you're logged in. Try catting the file to print directly through the script from the command line so the output goes to the display. When the terminal sees the printer on escape char it should output to the printer. Also check the AUX serial port settings in the terminal setup and make sure your printer matches up.
