You _should_ be able to get them to sort out the right ports automatically.
If you load ppa first it will grab any port that has a Zip connected; you can
then use lp with the `timid' flag to tell it to only claim otherwise-unused
ports. Alternatively if your printer is plug-and-play you can turn on the
autoprobe and use `lp=auto'.
