This should actually be an Ubuntu bug report, not a Debian one, but nevermind now. > Here is the message that I recieve: > > Aug 6 17:25:20 whitt-desktop kernel: [12507.816239] > audit(1218057920.574:9): type=1503 operation="inode_permission" > requested_mask="::rw" denied_mask="::rw" name="/dev/tty" pid=16125 > profile="/usr/sbin/cupsd" namespace="default" > > This problem is pervasive and has been causing a lot a lot of grief. I don't believe that. This happens on *every* installation and is completely harmless. There is no reason why cupsd needs to access the terminal device (it has log files for that), so that's just a cosmetical issue. > Many of the Bug reports have the same complaint; "Cups cannot print on > UBS or Parallel port printers. So what is your particular problem? Please describe the setup you have, and send /var/log/cups/error_log after a failed printing attempt. > There has to be a better answer that mucking about in Linux to change > authorization procedures.

No, you don't need to change any user setting/group of your's if you have problems with USB/parallel printing in cups. > I got this far by checking with a non programmer who has a UBS > printer running: That's just a red herring, trust me. We need to fix the problem on the cups side, not on your user's side. The latter would be a problem if you cannot administrate your printers, etc. > I know that I am coming in the back door, but some of this may make > sense to people with some experience with Linux.

So please describe your specifics (hardware, log files, problem description) and we'll see.
