This won't do what you expect. The pipe to /dev/lp0 will still be performed as you, not root. Extra quotes might help, but you'd have to consult the shell manual.
My usual trick is: cat test.ps | sudo tee /dev/lp0 >/dev/null

My usual trick is to make sure that cups is running correctly and that my user has the right groups to print... I do find that quite useful ;)
