The following reply was made to PR ports/99460; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Scott Robbins <scottro@nyc.rr.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, nb_root@videotron.ca Cc: Subject: Re: ports/99460: CUPS 1.2.0: Unable to open USB device "usb:/dev/ulpt0": Permission denied Date: Sun, 25 Jun 2006 15:57:28 -0400 I had the same experience with a parallel port. I didn't have time to deeply investigate, but I did find that it seems as if both the parallel and USB device options are not offered when using the web interface. Using lpadmin to delete and re-add the printer also failed, still giving me the access denied error (to /dev/lpt0). Just for fun, I tried changing permissions on lpt0, and although that ended the access denied error message, I still had no success in printing. The error log simply showed the job had been started. As said, I didn't have time to troubleshoot, so didn't change debug levels, etc. I simply downgraded to 1.1.23x and it worked again. FWIW, in ArchLinux, they did have the parallel device offered as an option in the web interface, however, I didn't see a USB option. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6
