Next question then: does the lpr command work for you from the command
line?  Can you print a text file with "lpr <filename>?  (Set up a
default printer in CUPS first.)

I did have a machine once that gave me problems with lpr.  I think it
went south when I used KDE's printer GUI to set up printers.  From
then on, I had to use cupsdoprint in lieu of lpr.  I wonder if xfce4
has a printer GUI, and its own print command?
