I have a similar problem where for some reason the permissions on the device get changed to root:usb. It should be root:lp - at least, when I change to root:lp, the printer immediately starts working just fine. # lsusb to find the device, bus 003, device 008 in your case # ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/008 to confirm permissions # chown root:lp /dev/bus/usb/003/008 to change the permissions I'm not sure when this started, but I first noticed it a few weeks ago. Not a huge issue, so I've not put much effort into trying to find the cause, I'm afraid. -- Chris Spackman [email protected] ESL Coordinator The Graham Family of Schools ESL Instructor Columbus State Community College MA TESOL Adjunct Ohio Dominican University
