Oh, sorry. When I saw

echo pippo>/dev/lp0
/dev/lp0: No such device or address

in your original post, I thought there was something wrong with the
definition of /dev/lp0 node in your system. Perhaps dmesg output reveals
something?

Anyway, I have done a quick search on google.com/linux with keyword
"/dev/lp0: No such device or address" and some of the interesting hits
from the first page of hits are below:
