The printer names are totally depedent upon what you have in
/etc/printcap ; You could name a printer on port /dev/lpt0
lp0, or you could name it swiss cheese.
Since you seem to be running redhat, sending your
/var/spool/lpd/ps/.config file might be helpful to the list,
as well as info from /proc/{devices,ioports}, output from
dmesg (8) .
Be forewarned that the BSD lpr system is and probably always will
be fertile ground for security-related problems. If you're
the type to be concerned with that type of thing, i highly
recommend installing LPRNG.
