Any more details? try 'rm -rf /dev/lp1' first I am not sure what distro but some make ALLLLLL devices you could ever imagine (ie. hdm). then you want to 'ln -s /dev/lp0 /dev/lp1'
also please post any log information if there is any. Another thing you might look into is device mapping in the emu app (in WINE for example) I know you can pick what dos named devices go to what unix device something like COM1 = /dev/cua3 or whatever. I am not familiar with the one you are using.
