Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny6

Trying to print to an HPLJ6 on /dev/lp1 fails if lp is not the owner of
the device node, even if lp has group rw on it. (Same applies to other
parallel ports.)

crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jun 17 20:13 /dev/lp1 - Doesn't work.

/var/log/cups/error_log contains:

E [21/Jun/2010:15:15:19 +0100] PID 31216 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel) stopped with status 1!
E [21/Jun/2010:15:15:19 +0100] [Job 352] Unable to open device file "/dev/lp1": Permission denied

Note "permission denied" even though lp has rw permissions on the
node.

chowning the node to lp:sys and restarting cups fixes it.

crw-rw---- 1 lp sys 6, 1 Jun 17 20:13 /dev/lp1 - Does work.

However these permissions automatically revert to the
non-working setup on reboot so it is necessary either to
chown it again manually every time or bodge it with a
startup script.

Dear Debian User,

This bug report was submitted against a version of CUPS that is no
longer supported in Debian. Use of our limited, volunteer supported
resources is best served by not keeping around old, hardware-specific
and inactive bugs for longer than desirable, so the report is now being
closed. Sorry for being unable not to address the issue before now.

You may, of course, wish to review the reported problem. It would be
appreciated if any future investigation could be conducted using the
testing or unstable distributions, preferably the latter. If considered
necessary, a new bug report, possibly referencing this one, would be
submitted. Please note there are now separate cups and cups-filters
packages.

Thank you for your report.

Regards,

Brian.
