I have a old printer which gets used once per month and is unplugged and

When I plug it in cups recognises it but produces 'permission denied'

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.
who owns the file /dev/lp0? (if it is a symlink then who owns the file
it ultimately points to?)
lp0 is owned by root and group is lp. This is not a link
The cmd to print a file is issued by the user.
In cups the allowed users for this printer are set to 'root,barry'. Just
a thought, users are not set for my usb printer, should users be unset?
