It appears that you have lp defined in printcap, but it is pointing to a device that does not exist. Traditional printer ports in MSDOS did not always point to the same I/O address for LPT1 and LPT2. New kernels of Linux handle printers somewhat different, but more consistantly. This does, however break some old setups. Chances are that you are trying to print to /dev/lp0 and need to be printing to /dev/lp1.
