Does apspreview work?
If it does, it's probably a ghostscript/driver issue.

What driver do you use, hpijs? Your /etc/printcap doesn't look so.
You also didn't tell what ghostscript version you are using.
Try hpijs (download from sourceforge, version 1.2.2), and make sure it's compiled
into ghostscript (version: 7.05, driver: ijs).
