$ cat /proc/devices

The numbers are the major device numbers as reported by ls -l. For example: 

$ ls -l /dev/lp*
crw-rw----   1 root     lp         6,   0 Dec  9  1996 /dev/lp0
crw-rw----   1 root     lp         6,   1 Dec  9  1996 /dev/lp1
crw-rw----   1 root     lp         6,   2 Dec  9  1996 /dev/lp2
crw-rw----   1 root     lp         6,   3 Dec  9  1996 /dev/lp3
