For dialing out to isp, I think most folks (including myself) add users
to the "dip" group. If you are using the modem for other than a ppp
connection, put the users in the "dialout" group.
Most users don't need to talk to the printer directly. Once you set up
a print spool handler like magicfilter or apsfilter, they submit jobs to
the printer. I saw a current thread on these.
Hope that helps.
