I might, but on the other hand I might not. The point is that Debian is relatively conservative concerning access to devices. In particular, it doesn't grant access for everybody to any new device, the philosophy is that you should explicitly grant such rights. So, in other words, this could just be considered an error on my part because I didn't configure these right. Anyhow, this bugreport on cupsys is not about the fact that it didn't work out of the box but rather that the error-message is bogus. Imagine a not-so-long time user trying to make anything out of the fact that it claims a non-connected printer. THAT is the bug in cupsys! cheers Uli
