I've blindly assumed that the "default" printer is/should be lp0. Is
that right?
Any ideas/tips on what I can do to enable printing to /dev/lp0?
Roughly speaking, each /dev/lp? refers to some particular piece of
hardware. So you can't really enable printing to /dev/lp0 until you
attach a printer to whatever /dev/lp0 refers to. What you probably
want to do is arrange /etc/printcap to specify that the logical
printer name "lp" (the default printer) points to /dev/lp0.
