After some digging I found the answer:
The old printcap needs needs the
:lp=/dev/lp1 changed to /dev/lp0
but this means 2 printcaps if you
run 2.0.xx and 2.1.xxx kernels.
So if you recompile 2.1.xxx
with
CONFIG_PARPORT=Y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=Y
CONFIG_PRINTER=M
and insmod lp parport=1,0
this sets lp back to using lp1
and you can use the same printcap.
Hope this helps anyone who
has similiar printing problems.
