First to clarify : cupsd runs as user lp group lpadmin

For now I have changed cupsd to run as group lp because
1. couldn't find any device owned by lpadmin in /etc/udev/ and
2.for this in /etc/cupsd/cupsd.conf:
# Group (Group)
#
# The group the server runs under. Normally this
# must be lpadmin, however you can configure things for another
# group as needed.
#
# ex: lpadmin
#
#Group lpadmin
After changing this to lp, the printer is fine.
But this sort of problem can prevent many users to use their printer.
Can you elaborate on why udev should solve the problem?
All udev rules create devices as group lp, not as group lpadmin.
Maybe we can organize an election between the two.
udev 1 cups 0 :-)
