/dev/lp0 rights and CUPS
I have added lp to /etc/modules as was suggested in another message to this
list. Now I have /dev/lp0 upon boot, but CUPS (localhost:631) complains:
"Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": Permission denied"
here are the versions I have installed.
ii cupsys 1.2.1-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server
ii udev 0.093-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
and here are the rights I am getting with this setup
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 2006-07-03 18:10 /dev/lp0
why, oh why, can't udev and CUPS get along? And how do I get udev to set the
rights of /dev/lp0 to lp:lp which according to another posting is necessary
to get let cupsd see it (it works if I manually do it)?
I have the following in /etc/udev/permissions.d/udev.permissions
printers/*:lp:lp:0660
usb/lp[0-9]*:lp:lp:0660
usb/legousbtower[0-9]*:root:root:666
lp[0-9]*:lp:lp:0660
parport[0-9]*:lp:lp:0660
irlpt[0-9]*:root:lp:0660
usblp[0-9]*:lp:lp:0660
Any suggestions would be greatly (really!) appreciated,
Thanks,
Chris
