My /dev is static. I am not using udev. I have set the permissions to crw.rw.... Somehow, it had been changed to NO rw at all. > > If so, does CUPS then start-up and make the printer available without > manual intervention? > I had to add lp to /etc/modules sometime after a 2.6.16.x upgrade. I will add it to /set/modules and see. I did not have this problem with 2.6.16 kernels but then again, I do not do all that much printing so maybe I did. Cups writes printer.conf with the default printer (with the data switch setting the parallel line to it) as "idle" and the second printer (not live) to "stopped". So why did I need to manually "start" the supposedly "idle" printer? See what happens after next reboot. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
