You should get a page containing just two words in 10pt times by:
echo 'Hello world' | groff | lpr

You can also try replacing /dev/lp0 (or equivalent) in the script with
/tmp/dump.lp to get a file containing what is being sent to the
printer from gs and check it looks sane for your printer.  Then try
cat /tmp/dump.lp >/dev/lp0 (or equivalent) to check if that part works.

Hope that helps,
