Small home network. Trying to get cups working on my server.

As you can see, I have a LaserJet attached to the parallel port. Here is
my printers.conf.

Trying to print a test page from the cups web interface on a client
machine, I get the error message. Doing chmod 777 /dev/lpt0 does not
change anything.
Can somebody tell me what I've done wrong or point me in the direction I
should be looking?
Dave
