Why do you say "lpt1"?  I have 4 lp[0-3] devices in /dev, but I have no actual parallel port hardware. I suspect by force loading the driver with settings like that, it will assume there's actually a port at that address.  It will be writing to nothing.

It is a CUPS and Printer Admin thing.  I find it a bit
annoying myself.  They should use Linux terms, not
Windows terms.

See for yourself:

I don't think it's originally a windows term. It's actually "LPT #1", similar to the following "Serial Port #1". "LPT" stands for "line printer" for those of us old enough to remember when printers could only do lines of text.
