You have to specify
perm lpt0 0666
in /etc/devfs.conf
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> dir /dev/lpt*
crw------- 1 root wheel 0, 79 Sep 5 20:45 /dev/lpt0
crw------- 1 root wheel 0, 80 Sep 5 20:45 /dev/lpt0.ctl
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> grep lpt /etc/devfs.conf
# make lpt0 available to CUPS
perm /dev/lpt0 0666
Did you as root do
sh /etc/rc.d/devfs start
AFAIK rules are only applied when the node is created, which it already
would have been when you added/changed your rule.
Also not /dev/lpt0 but just lpt0. Devfs rules only apply to /dev!
