Aha, the system has the user "lp" start lpd. If lp can't write
to those files, you'll get that error.
As root, try this:
chown lp /var/log/lp-errs
chown lp /var/log/lp-acct
chgrp lp /dev/ttyS1
chmod 0660 /dev/ttyS1
Then (drum roll...) do:
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
./lpd restart
That should fix your error messages. I had to do something
fairly similar to get my USB printer going.
