Setting lp to /dev/null?  Interesting!  Two quick questions -- is this the
netatalk from ftp.macbsd.com or did you compile from recent sources?  Also,
since you're going in through the localtalk connector, do you happen to
know what position the communication switch on the back is set to?  (0-4
are 'hardwired' to localtalk).

I'll give this a shot.  Thank you!
