In attempting to diagnose my printing problem from mandrake 8.0, shouldn't I 
be able to do this?

# echo test > /dev/lp0

and receive data at the printer?
I get the following when attempting this.

bash: /dev/lp0: no such device

Doesn't this mean the parallel port isn't configured, or working properly?
I get the same response with lp1, and lp2; the only other lp devices 
available.  Any response would be appreciated.
