I got the same problem exactly since Sunday 16th march. I don't get access to the printers usb device in my case: Bus 003 Device 008: ID 04e8:3252 Samsung Electronics Co., Lt not as user (member of groups lp and lpadmin) nor as root!!
I cannot figure out who is blocked using that device for i cannot find a user not beeing member of group lp when i ask lsof. lsof | grep cups lsof | grep usb before sunday I was printing happily beeing member of group lpadmin only I can solve it by opening permissions to crw-rw-rw- 1 root lp 180, 0 2008-03-20 21:58 /dev/usb/lp0 either by hand or adding MODE="0666" in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules as described above . I added haldaemon to group lp - no effect. This seems not to be a haldaemon problem. I met this topic because i desperately was installing hal-cups-utils. Without I get "Drucker ist nicht verbunden, erneuter Versuch in 30 Sekunden …" which means "Printer not connected Try again in 30 seconds.." I'm sure, this is the same problem but perhaps I fail :o)) Ask if you need more details Friedrich -- 7.10 /usr/lib/cups/backend/hal failed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174403 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
