I originally sent this to the CUPS maintainer and got a "that would be nice" reply to the last part, so I'm wondering how hard it would be to do :)
Hi, Recently I have had trouble using CUPS and I tracked it down to the fact that CUPS [now] appears to access device nodes as a non-root user. Unfortunately this conflicts with the standard permissions for /dev/lpt0. Do you have an opinion on the correct solution? I have an /etc/devfs.rules file with this in it.. [root=100] add path 'lpt*' group cups mode 660 And have this in /etc/rc.conf.. devfs_system_ruleset="root" but this is annoying to have to remember to do for a new install. I wonder if an lpt group should be created by default and then the CUPS user can be a member.
