Turning on "lp"

Gaak,
Started this morning with A/UX 2.0 upgrade, after two failures
I concluded that the tape was defective. (tape achieve error).

The regional Apple office graciously loaded my disk with the
new version of A/UX.(100 mile sprint ) Neato!!

My (initial ) problem is that I can't get the "lp" system to
print anything. The initial setup had an iw2 as the printer.
I did a RM_PR iw2 to get rid of the existing printer and then
tried ADD_LW myprinter tty1.

When I try the lp command lpstat shows the file as printing
but the laserwriter does not "blink" and nothing happens.

I can print from mac apps and lpr does work and the atprinter
command works.

Can any one tell me how I have screwed up and what I can do to
get the lp stuff working? (I really want to use enscript...)

All I have is the Installation Kit and the version 1.0 manuals.
