I'm actually suffering the same problem after upgrading to 6.0
Printing was working, low res, but hey.

I'm getting a 
lp: driver loaded but no devices found


They would appear to have the right major/minor numbers as far as I can
see, but...

root (/dev)# ./MAKEDEV lp     
root (/dev)# cat > /dev/lp0
bash: /dev/lp0: No such device
root (/dev)# ls -l lp*
crw-rw----   1 root     daemon     6,   0 Nov 25 05:10 lp0
crw-rw----   1 root     daemon     6,   1 Nov 25 05:10 lp1
crw-rw----   1 root     daemon     6,   2 Nov 25 05:10 lp2
