At first sight everything looks OK: the /dev files, the printcat file...
cambados:~# ls -lisa /dev/lp*
940965 0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Feb 23 1999 /dev/lp0
940966 0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Feb 23 1999 /dev/lp1
940967 0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Feb 23 1999 /dev/lp2
cambados:~# ls -lisa /etc/printcap

/etc/printcap
But even if I change /dev/lp1 by /dev/lp0
cambados:~# cat /etc/printcap

# Please don't edit this file directly unless you know what you are doing!
