If you just upgraded from 2.0. be warned that the ordering of /dev/lp*
has changed. This is documented in Documentation/Changes. It used to
be based on the io address of the port. Now it's based on the order
that the ports are detected. I'm guessing you were using /dev/lp1, and
the printer is now showing up on /dev/lp0.
