With the little information you've given (ie try including the
printcap, etc etc), my best guess is that while 2.0.x labeled the
parallel ports DOS-style, so lpt1 would be /dev/lp1, 2.2.x just labels
them in the order they are found (much more sane IMHO), so the first
parallel port is /dev/lp0. Check to make sure you are using the right
port in /etc/printcap? Otherwise try sending more information.
