The error message is somewhat misleading. "Not configured" means that
the lp driver could not find the hardware for lp0 or that the driver has
not even been loaded. Does your kernel contain support for the parallel
interface (compiled in or as module)? Also, you might want to try
"/dev/lp1", depending on the I/O address for your parallel interface.
