Not sure what your problem is, but here are thing to check.
1. Where were you running it from? If not from /, then dev/lp1 would not
find /dev/lp1 .
2. Does /dev/lp1 exist or not? (ls -l /dev/lp*).
3. Which device is your printer actually connected to? /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1?
(Which way it's setup, even on a system with one parallel port, varies a bit
by distribution and kernel version, and I don't know which one RH 6.1 uses.)
4. Are you loading the parport module (or do you have parport support in the
kernel)?
