I guess I was unclear.  I tried /dev/lp0 , /dev/lp1, /dev/lp2,
and /dev/lp3.

Anyway, I tried reconfiguring magicfuilter, as suggested by Bob 
Nielsen and that didn't help.  I still get the same error message
whether redirecting directly to lp1 or using lpr.

Anyway, here is the /proc/devices and /etc/printcap.
