This should work.

Aha, here we are. There is a bug in MAKEDEV on hppa - printer devices
should be major 26, not 30.

Can you fix this with

  cd /dev
  rm -f lp[at][012]
  mknod -m 600 lpt0 c 26 0
  mknod -m 600 lpt1 c 26 1
  mknod -m 600 lpt2 c 26 2
  mknod -m 600 lpa0 c 26 128
  mknod -m 600 lpa1 c 26 129
  mknod -m 600 lpa2 c 26 130
  chown root:wheel lp[at][012]

and try again?
