Re: CUPS printing, drivers and ppd's
I'm still getting the error about /dev/usb/lp0. Could it be some module not
being loaded. Just the fact that /dev/usb/lp0 is there and has the right
mjor and minor nos. doesn't mean it's connected to anything, right?
I changed ownership of /dev/usb/lp0 to lp.sys.
I didn't see anything in logs that said anything about errors. I guess I
could try debug2.
