Package: cupsys Version:1.2.7-1 Hi!
I just installed an USB printer (Samsung ML-1610) and stumbled across the problem that after the wizard correctly detects the printer's presence and type, it totally fails when printing. Worse, the diagnostic is complete and utter nonsense, it says: "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds..." By looking around a bit and trying this and that, I found out that the problem is that the device node (/dev/usb/lp0) has owner root:lp. A simple chmod lp:lp resolved the issue[1]. However, that's not the issue here, the problem is rather that cupsys falsely diagnoses the error, there is no connection missing but it's a simple permission problem. cheers Uli [1] Note to anyone with the same initial problem: this is not a fix, because if you unplug and replug the printer, it gets the same permissions again. A proper fix is rather to configure hotplug/udev/hal/whatever to create the node with proper permissions and ownership -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
