So, you can just name the device and not the full path? That's useful to know. I might need it soon.

For LPT... Under Linux LPT is lp, but the counting goes from 0, not 1. So:

LPT1 = lp0
LPT2 = lp1

and so on.

According to this link, they would also be available under:
/dev/parportn (/dev/parport0)

So, if you have builtin parallel port on mb, you can try using parport0.

USB printer connected via USB to LPT would be /dev/usb/lp0. But according to this link, it will also be avialable as /dev/usblp0 so I guess you can use usblp0 in this case.
