I have a old printer which gets used once per month and is unplugged and stored most of the time.

When I plug it in cups recognises it but produces 'permission denied' messages even though I have added myself to the lp and lpadmin groups.

Stopping and restarting the cups daemon does not work

To get output I have to alter the permissions on /dev/lp0 from 660 to 666. This to me is a dirty way of fixing the problem. Is there another way, or is it a cups fault? (cups 1.3.10). There is no problem with my usb printer.

The problem reoccurs after rebooting.

TIA

Barry
