Every file in unix has permissions you can change with chmod:

    chmod a+w /dev/lp1

(ran as user root). It will give everyone permission to use /dev/lp1.

Or, you can check/change only the permission for the group. In my system:

    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 26 feb  2005 /dev/lp0
    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 26 feb  2005 /dev/lp1
    crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 26 feb  2005 /dev/lp2

show that a user belonging to group "lp" can write. Add yourself or your 
users to that group:
     adduser vassilis lp
and vassilis will be able to write to /dev/lpX.

If the setup of your /dev/lpX is different, you can change its group 
with chgrp.

Linux is good because _you_ are in control with your beloved computer...
