Package: cups Version: 1.3.8-1+lenny6 Trying to print to an HPLJ6 on /dev/lp1 fails if lp is not the owner of the device node, even if lp has group rw on it. (Same applies to other parallel ports.)
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jun 17 20:13 /dev/lp1 - Doesn't work. /var/log/cups/error_log contains: E [21/Jun/2010:15:15:19 +0100] PID 31216 (/usr/lib/cups/backend/parallel) stopped with status 1! E [21/Jun/2010:15:15:19 +0100] [Job 352] Unable to open device file "/dev/lp1": Permission denied Note "permission denied" even though lp has rw permissions on the node. chowning the node to lp:sys and restarting cups fixes it. crw-rw---- 1 lp sys 6, 1 Jun 17 20:13 /dev/lp1 - Does work. However these permissions automatically revert to the non-working setup on reboot so it is necessary either to chown it again manually every time or bodge it with a startup script.
