I had this problem, and AT&T mentioned that I needed to be "user lp".  So
I su'd to lp and then:

$ /usr/lib/accept Epson Parallel
destination "Epson" now accepting requests
destination "Parallel" now accepting requests

- and conversely -

$ /usr/lib/reject Epson Parallel
destination "Epson" no longer accepting requests
destination "Parallel" no longer accepting requests

I guess the error message telling you that you should be the LP Administrator
doesn't work. Oh well.
