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:

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.
