It would be nice to know if Anthony could print fine using the 2.0.33 lp
driver __interrupt__ driven and __not__ polled to understand if its
printer has hardware problems (I suppose he was using the 2.0.33 lp driver
in the past as default and so polled). Anthony, in order to use interrupt
with the 2.0.33 lp driver you need a program called tunelp and then run:

tunelp /dev/lp1 -i 7
