Comment 14 for bug 174403

I got the same problem exactly since Sunday 16th march.

I don't get access to the printers usb device in my case:
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 04e8:3252 Samsung Electronics Co., Lt
not as user (member of groups lp and lpadmin) nor as root!!

I cannot figure out who is blocked using that device for i cannot find a user not beeing member of group lp when i ask lsof.

lsof | grep cups
lsof | grep usb

before sunday I was printing happily beeing member of group lpadmin only

I can solve it by opening permissions to
crw-rw-rw- 1 root lp 180, 0 2008-03-20 21:58 /dev/usb/lp0
either by hand or adding MODE="0666" in
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules
as described above .

I added haldaemon to group lp - no effect. This seems not to be a haldaemon problem.

I met this topic because i desperately was installing hal-cups-utils.

Without I get
"Drucker ist nicht verbunden, erneuter Versuch in 30 Sekunden …" which means
"Printer not connected Try again in 30 seconds.."

I'm sure, this is the same problem but perhaps I fail :o))

Ask if you need more details
