/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
