This is a CUPS lpr error.  The specified print queue does not exist.

$_printer = "myqueue"
$_printer_command = "lpr"
$_printer_timeout = (5)

should be sufficient to print to LPT1, assuming the existence of a print
queue named "myqueue" on the host Linux system.  You didn't set this in
your configuration.

I sometimes use the equivalent

printer { options "-P myqueue" command $_printer_command timeout (5) }

but this is only needed when different timeouts are required for
different LPT ports.

Roger
