The (null) bit is a bug.  However, you do need to use "-r" here,
because the alignment process requires full read-write access to the
device, and so can't go via a print queue ("-P").

Do you know what options escputil was run with from this menu?  The ps
command should be able to show you.

Try "-r /dev/lp0", i.e.

escputil -a -r /dev/lp0 -m escp2-c42sx

Does this work?
