This should work if you just specify lp1 rather than lp0 in your setup.
However, to answer your last question:

	SYMBOLIC links can be displayed just by doing an 'ls -l':
	the first character on the line will be 'l' (rather than
	'-', 'd', 'b', 'c', etc.), and there will be an arrow
	[->] at the end, followed by the name of the item to which
	the link is pointing.

	HARD links can be displayed by doing an 'ls -li'.  The numbers
	in the first column (the inode numbers) must be identical; all
	the rest of the identifying information must be identical; and
	the numbers in the third column (the link count) must be
	greater then one.
