I guess I wasn't clear in my previous post, the changes I made to udev.permissions did *not* change the owner from root to lp on the next boot.
I did change the "printers" in the rules file (as suggested for the usb entry in previous post in this thread) and that seems to have worked.
Can some of the more experienced Debian users on this list explain what is going on here? It seems obvious to me that cupsd should be run with rights that allow it to access printers, shouldn`t it?
