At a guess - You do not have a printer named 'lp'
Somewhere in the config you have to specify a printer that is valid.

Change this setting to your actual printer name
e.g. "Stylus COLOR 200"
Check the name is correct using the following command
lpstat -a

Try this command it should be right

See my inline comments.
To make sure the printer name is correct use
lpstat -a
which will list all your printers and their status.

man lpstat  for more info.

Best of luck!
