Did you try:
echo "this is a printer test" | lpr -PHP5SI

or 

lpstat -a

to show all printers available

otherwise, ghostscript could be broken, hey?

perhaps it's printing for root because it will print text files but if
ghostscript is broken!  Which test did you print?  Try printer other
types of file under the test in the printer setup applet.  Ghostscript
filters may not be working.

At my witts end here, hope this helps?
