In /etc/udev/local.rules, I have the line: BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", OWNER="lp" which makes sure the ownership of /dev/usb/lp0 is right for my usb printer. (The group is automatically taken care of in permissions.rules - but strangely not the owner.) I find I also have to use an old /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file if I want to print as a user (from KDE at least) - I'm in the process of trying to work out why.
