Bug#373899: cupsys: USB backend cannot access /dev/usb/lp0
Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: grave
When the USB backend process is spawned, its UID is set to 7 (lp), but
the GID remains 0 (I've checked in /proc/NNNN/status). This makes CUPS
incompatible with the default configuration of udev, which sets for
/dev/usb/lp[0-9] owner root, group lp, and mode 660.
The backend process should be spawned with GID 7 (lp) as well as UID 7 (lp).
Severity justification: local printers which use parallel, serial, and
usb backends, are unusable without manual reconfiguration of udev.
