it sounds to me like you need to re-make the lpt device nodes.  The
way NetBSD handles printer device nodes in NetBSD 1.0 differs from the
way it was done in previous releases.

i believe the correct invocation to do that might be:

	cd /dev
	rm lp?[0-9]
	sh MAKEDEV lpt0 lpt1 lpt2

etc.  but (1) i'm not 100% sure, off-hand, and (2) you should probably
read the MAKEDEV script to see for yourself exactly what that would
do, anyway.  8-)

good luck!
