Change the fprintf() statement to
  fprintf(stdprn, "Hello World\n\x0c");
This inserts a newline (\n) and a formfeed (\x0c), telling the
printer to kick out the paper.

And
  return 1;
in main() generally means that the program ran into
error type 1, however you define that.
If you want to say "no error," say
  return 0;
