Why do you say "lpt1"? I have 4 lp[0-3] devices in /dev, but I have
no actual parallel port hardware.
I suspect by force loading the driver with settings like that, it
will assume there's actually a port at that address. It will be
writing to nothing.
It is a CUPS and Printer Admin thing. I find it a bit
annoying myself. They should use Linux terms, not
Windows terms.
See for yourself:

I don't think it's originally a windows term. It's actually "LPT #1",
similar to the following "Serial Port #1". "LPT" stands for "line
printer" for those of us old enough to remember when printers could only
do lines of text.
I wonder what it was called back in the UNIX days?
