Hello All, I'm trying to set up printing on my FreeBSD 5.1-Release using LPRng but having problems. Hoping someone can help out here. When I do a $ checkpc -f, I get: Warning - lp: cannot open lp device '/dev/lpt0' - Permission denied The lpd is being run by user 'daemon' while ls -l /dev/lpt0 returns: crw------- 1 root wheel 16, 0 Oct 4 10:33 /dev/lpt0 I had done chmod 777 /dev/lpt0, at one time, also did chown daemon:daemon /dev/lpt0, in both cases I was able to print OK. BUTTT, whenever I reboot FreeBSD, the permissions for /dev/lpt0 are reset back to the original 'crw------- 1 root wheel'. I did some googling around but can't seem to find others with the same problem. Can anyone help please? Thanks
