Public bug reported: Binary package hint: udev
It appears that the solution to this problem has been known for sometime, but I just experienced it with a fresh install (and update) of Kubuntu 8.04. I was unable to find the bug on launchpad... hopefully this one isn't a duplicate. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04 After installing my Brother HL-2070N using the deb packages provided by Brother, the printer was visible in CUPS and I was able to complete the configuration of it (change the uri from the default 'usb' to 'parallel:/dev/lp0'). When I attempted to print a test page, the job was immediately placed on 'Hold' and would never print. Using the CUPS web configuration tool, I saw the following message next to the printer name: ""/dev/lp0": Permission denied" I found the solution in the following forum posts: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3089184.msg106277 After updating the "/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules" file from: # Printers and Parallel devices SUBSYSTEM=="printer", GROUP="lp" SUBSYSTEM=="ppdev", GROUP="lp" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", GROUP="lp" --TO-- # Printers and Parallel devices SUBSYSTEM=="printer", OWNER="lp", GROUP="lp" SUBSYSTEM=="ppdev", GROUP="lp" SUBSYSTEM=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", OWNER="lp", GROUP="lp" I was able to print without issue. ** Affects: udev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Unable to print to parallel port https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235670 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
