Before you do this, make sure that either you are doing it as root or that
the userid you are using has permission to write to /dev/lp0 (i.e., /dev/lp0
needs to be mode 666). Modern Linuxes typically set /dev/lp* to 660, with
the device owned by root, group lp . This lets lpr/lpd use it but blocks
diect dumps by non-privileged users.
