I'm having similar problems.
Printer: Brother HL-5150D
OS: Fresh install of kubuntu 7.10 from the "alternative" disc (text install
method) - as downloaded 2008-02-09.
I'm getting various problems - they seem to be permission related.
The problem goes away when I do the following:
# cd dev
# chmod 777 usb* usb/*
I can now print. I was unable to add the printer until I did this.
As soon as I reboot, the problem returns. The problem must be with
hal/dbus setting the permissions wrong, and I'm sure I can fix it with a
bit more effort. I'm reporting this as a bug because it's a fresh
install, so I assume its not something I've done
Thanks,
Mark
