Well, something isn't quite right there, because lpd
should not be complaining about /dev/lp if it really
believes your lp= field is set to /dev/lpt0

Did you mean to have "Hewlett=Packard", instead of
"Hewlett-Packard"?  I doubt that's the problem, but
other than that your printcap entry does look pretty
reasonable.  Is that your entire printcap file?
