Subject:   What is the magical incantation necessary to print to /dev/ulpt0

I have a DFI AK74-EC motherboard (VIA 686 chipset) and a Lexmark Z51
printer.  I would like to be able to print to the Z51 using /dev/ulpt0. 
When connected, my dmesg output indicates that the Z51 is detected and
connected to /dev/ulpt0.  However, attempts to print to this port (using
apsfilter, cp some_text_file /dev/ulpt0, etc.) have resulted in no activity
and no apparent transfer of data to the printer.

So the question comes, what must I say over my computer to make things
print?  :)
