Description Albert Zeyer 2008-02-05 02:38:57 UTC 
My /dev/lp0 has the following permissions set (correctly):
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 0 Feb  8  2008 /dev/lp0

In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, I defined:
User lp
Group lp

When I try to print, I get the error:
E [05/Feb/2008:03:30:24 +0100] [Job 1104] Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": Permission denied

As /usr/libexec/cups/filter/foomatic-rip is a perl-script, I added a simple 'id'  and I got this:
uid=4(lp) gid=65534(nobody) groups=65534(nobody)

It seems that CUPS doesn't set the group correctly.

I remember roughly that this error is already really old, at least I have seen the missing group setting once in an earlier version.

I am using cups 1.2.12-r4.

The same problem occurs in CUPS 1.3.5.
