Hello Rico, Thank you for your reply. Your workaround may only work until you reboot your machine and /dev/unlpt0 is re-permission'd. To make that fix more permanent, you will need to add the following to your /etc/ devfs.rules file (feel free to modify the 0660 to something more of your liking). [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups And, add the following to your /etc/rc.conf file. devfs_system_ruleset=system These were outlined earlier on in this thread. Do you have other computers that network print to your printer (and if so, does network printing work for you)? Thank you for your reply.

I hadn't ever set this printer up with cups before today, though. It's using gutenprint. JN Check the error log for more verbose messages (located in /var/log/cups/ or from the cups web interface). I just discovered the web interface, so I'll keep an eye on it. From what I've read while trying to solve my failure is that some of the backends/drivers don't work properly with the new cups. We're probably dealing with several simultaneous failures that need to be worked out. That's the conclusion I'm coming to as well. My sense so far is that most of the issues stem from the new cups trying to do as little as possible as root and from other pieces assuming / requiring that they will be run as root. Obviously the /dev/ulpt permissions thing is a result of this. Another case in point is the cups-pdf backend. It stopped working after the cups upgrade until I made it setuid root. FWIW, cups is working with an Epson 777 and the gimp-print drivers using /dev/unlpt0. It seems to work as well as it did before once I got the permissions issue worked out. Good deal. My network printers at work are also working since the upgrade, so all hope is not lost.

I am running an early 6.1-STABLE (FreeBSD dell.home.iq 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sat May 13 01:04:32 EDT 2006 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IQKERNEL i386). Just a me too so far with an el cheapo Lexmark USB laser printer (E210). Are you using the foomatic script? I am, with a PPD from linuxprinting.org. I am not sure, actually (it was so long ago, I do not remember how I got it working). I installed hpijs and Make and Model mentions Foomatic/hpijs, so perhaps. I am sorry I could not be of more assistance with this question. I'm going to try backing up and blowing away my etc/cups dir, re- updating the port, reinstalling foomatic and my ppd, and see if that makes any difference. I'll post whatever I learn. Thank you for posting your findings and for your quick reply. No luck. I basically re-installed everything (including config files and the foomatic filters) from scratch. I also changed the permissions on /dev/ulpt0 to be 0664 for root:cups. That prevents the permissions error, but I still get nothing from the printer. The message that comes up in the cups web interface when I try to print a test page is: /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend/usb failed I did get my other printer (on a different machine) working with cups 1.2.0 by just changing the permissions on the device node. I hadn't ever set this printer up with cups before today, though. It's using gutenprint. JN Check the error log for more verbose messages (located in /var/log/cups/ or from the cups web interface). From what I've read while trying to solve my failure is that some of the backends/drivers don't work properly with the new cups. We're probably dealing with several simultaneous failures that need to be worked out. FWIW, cups is working with an Epson 777 and the gimp-print drivers using /dev/unlpt0. It seems to work as well as it did before once I got the permissions issue worked out.

When I log into the CUPS web interface as root and try to print a test page, it gives me the message I posted above. If, as root, I try to print a Postscript file via lp, it does nothing. Thank you all again for your assistance.___ I had the same problem. chown ulpt0 to group cups and add group write. That will fix it. I added the following to /etc/devfs.rules to make the fix permanent: I did chgrp cups /dev/ulpt0 chmod g+w /dev/ulpt0 [system=10] add path 'unlpt*' mode 0660 group cups add path 'ulpt*' mode 0660 group cups I did not have a /etc/devfs.rules file, so I copied /etc/defaults/ devfs.rules to /etc/devfs.rules and added what you suggested at the bottom of it. Don't forget to restart devfs. When I do /etc/rc.d/devfs restart it seems like nothing happens. So, I rebooted my machine and the group was back to operator. What am I doing wrong? Thank you so much for your assistance with this.
