This sounds more like a udev problem, and somewhat like what I'm having right now with lp0. It just stopped working: (0) heretic /etc/udev_ checkpc Warning - cannot chdir to '//var/spool/lpd' as UID 1000, GRP 1000 - 'Permission denied' Warning - bad directory - //var/spool/lpd/lp Warning - Printer_DYN 'lp0' spool dir '/var/spool/lpd/lp' needs fixing (0) heretic [root] /root_ checkpc Warning - lp0: cannot stat lp device '/dev/lp0' - No such file or directory -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
