Some success! By changing the permissions by:
chmod a=rw /dev/bus/usb/005/005 I get printing (Scanning still works also). However simply adding the groups and rebooting does not. Therefore, I am still completely at a loss. Not pragmatic to have to set permissions on a moving target each boot. Any ideas how to proceed from here?
