To be more explicit, you need to find the index in cdevsw of the lp

mknod c <index> 0 /dev/lp # I think that's the right argument order
That is, 'c' for character device, major device is the index in cdevsw,
and minor device indicates which physical one to use. Since you only
have one, it should be 0.
If the above is not correct, someone will correct me, I'm sure. :-)

I have mknod but need the (c,b) major/minor
numbers for /dev/lp
It looks like SysV still has conf.c; you're looking for 'cdevsw'.
