Don't do this. The /dev/lp? devices are 0660 by default, with group "lp"; you only need to add the user who need to use the printer to the "lp" group (this work too for another devices: group "floppy" for floppys, "dialout" for serial, ...). > lp|dj952c|HP Deskjet 952C:\ > :lp=/dev/lp0:sd=/var/spool/lpd/dj952c:\ > :sh:pw#80:pl#66:px#1440:mx#0:\ > :if=/etc/magicfilter/dj690c-best-filter:\ > :af=/var/log/lp-acct:lf=/var/log/lp-errs: Try using /dev/lp1, and see if this help. -- David
