Public bug reported: Binary package hint: udev
Feisty stumbles on USB printer node permissons. I'm not sure what the root cause is. Original permissions: crw-rw---- 1 root plugdev 180, 0 2007-01-19 02:44 /dev/usblp0 But I can't print due to continual "Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds." lpinfo -v doesn't list the printers and, if I try removing and adding them, cups doesn't detect them. chmod a+rw /dev/usblp0 fixes the problem and printing is restored. This happens for both my Epson C80 inkjet and Samsung ML-2510 laser. Printing worked 100% in Edgy so I'm confident it's not a hardware issue. I dist-upgraded to Feisty.
