I had a similar problem, and did two things to fix it. 1. Your Slink /dev/lp1 is now /dev/lp0. Make sure you change your printcap file to reflect this.
2. Re-install lprng. I happened to notice that after upgrading the kernel, lprng was half-installed. So I uninstalled it and then re-installed it. Everything has worked like a charm since.
