I suppose this is a permission problem that is not allowing lp to open /dev/lp1. What is the correct way to install this printer? I've also got an Epson Stylus printer, but don't use lprng. Instead I use cupsys which is quite easy to install if you know about the admin program on http://localhost:631 You may also want gimp-print (I can't recall if that includes printer definitions for the Epson Stylus 600). The other thing to know is that /dev/lp1 is the second printer port (which most people don't have) so I would guess that /dev/lp0 is the one you want to use. However you need to make sure that either support is compiled into the kernel, or that you've got the module loaded (/sbin/lsmod to see). The message you got about "No such device" actually means that - that there is no device on the other side of the file. Tell us how you get on. Remember to write down every step you take, and all the pitfalls that you come across.
