As someone else alluded to use > /dev/lp1 instead

A couple of things to check also.

Is the driver in the kernel 
	dmesg | grep lp

If not add it using (as root) 
	/sbin/insmod lp

When that is done repeat the command above, it should tell you 
the ports that are in your machine.  It should look like this
	lp1 at 0x0378, (polling)

Target the port outlined above.

To resolve this part post (or mail directly) your printcap file 
(minus comments).
