Cups uses different serial numbers do differentiate between printers. It shouldn't be, but it can be. What's the cups device? Are you using parallel://dev/lp0 or usb:// ?

This should print the text, with a form feed. I assume it will block (wait forever) The device might be /dev/usblp0 or /dev/usb/lp0.
