The names of the printer devices changed from the DOS-like ones in all
of the older kernels (/dev/lp1 <==> LPT1:) to device names consistent
with the rest of Linux (/dev/lp0 <==> LPT1:, lp1=LPT2:, lp2=LPT3:).
You need to change the name of your printer device in /etc/printcap if
you run a 2.1 kernel (probably replace /dev/lp1 with /dev/lp0).
