The original error message would be fine ...

But I assume, that you are simply printing something to the wrong
device. Try printing to /dev/lp1 instead.

You can easily locate the correct device by trying to "cat"
an ascii file to different printer devices:

	cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp0
	cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp1
	cat /etc/passwd > /dev/lp2

Might be the case, that you first have to create missing devices
using the mknod command.
