I'm having trouble getting amanda to address a printer. I can print using

You are root here. So you have the permission to write into the device.
That is not the way amanda prints.
Amanda uses the "lpr" command to print to the printer. You have to set
up the printing system first and use that printername (probably "820"
from below.)
which produces the email-style report, but I'm trying to use the tapetype
option to create labels after each dump:
lbl_templ "/path/to/3hole.ps"
(within the braces) while also defining the printer with
printer "/dev/usb/lp0"
This won't work! You need the printer name, not the device name.
(outside of the braces) which produces an error on amcheck claiming that the
printer is undefined.
I've also tried
printer "lpr"
printer "820" # cups printer name
The last one should work (if indeed "820" is your printername).
Just verifying: your printer system can print postscript?
Try: (as user amanda)
$ amreport dailySet -l log.file.0 -f /tmp/mylabel.ps
$ cat /tmp/mylabel.ps | lpr -P820
(the last command is much what amreport does internally).
PS. Do you really work for that company where you send mail from? :-)
