Hello Liam,
I have done as you said and now I get:
[root at localhost root]# ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
crw-rw----    1 lp       sys      180,   0 sep 15  2003 /dev/usb/lp0

But I have the same problem:

[root at localhost root]# foomatic-printjob -P martin -Q
inprimagailua is ready
no entries
[root at localhost root]# lp -P martin .bash_profile
lp: unable to print file: client-error-bad-request

One question, lp is not in sys group
 [root at localhost root]# grep sys /etc/group
sys:x:3:root,bin,adm

do I have to include lp in sys group?
