(hi\n)
print

What does it do?
If it echoes "hi", then postscript works.
end with a <control>d then close the connection
Another test would be
telnet<printer_ip_address> 9100
%!PS
100 300 moveto
/TimesRoman findfont 24 scalefont selectfont
(Testing 1 2 3 4) show
showpage
<control>d
That should print a page with "Testing 1 2 3 4" in the middle.
Does the printer have a built in web server for configuration? Are the
correct ports and emulations enabled?
This is unlikely to be a problem with lpr if you have configured
/etc/printcap according to the example included in it.
Are you sending postscript or HPGL to the printer? If you are sending
plain text it is very unlikely you will see anything useful. Use a2ps
(for example - there are other programs which do the same) to format
plain text into postscript.
