Are the host names written correctly? Have you observed upper/lower case?

Answer:
those messages are self-explanatory...
LP01 was never used, you can delete or lock it
about 20 printers cannot be used becasue they cannot be reached. Perhaps they are just turned off or simply Offline?

Answer:
okay snowy.......i should have added that they are not offline and from unix when i ping them they are alive.
Answer:
maybe SAPLPD was not started if your printers are connected on PC.
Answer:
It looks to me like it is doing a connection check to those printers, if your printers are setup in Unix and SAP links to those printers it cannot check the connection on the individual printers, this is because Unix is handling the processing. It depends what print method you are using.
Are the printers actually working?
I think it may just be a case that SAP cannot check the status of printers setup on unix. The SAP spool process will only direct the output to the spooler host and not handle the print processing itself, this would be done on unix level.
If the printers were setup for SAP to handle the processing then you could probably do a connection check.
