I think that MAKEDEV complaint is an internal-array-full in MAKEDEV problem,

/dev for large files with the names of devices - sometimes
Ufff, problem solved !!!
Thanks to Allan Black I now understand the whole thing a bit better

Figure out which port you are using of /dev/lp0 through lp3. It's most
likely lp0. Do this:
cd /dev
ln -s lp0 printer
