i need to chmod 777 /dev/lp0 in order to print...


In order to print, I need to chmod 777 /dev/lp0/ in order for my printer to be
able to print. I already added myself to the lp group, but everytime my
computer starts up, i have to re-chmod /dev/lp0. Is there a way to do this
automatically?

background info:
debian sarge
lexmark z22
using lexmark's driver + foomatic

you could put the line in /etc/rc.d/run_level_you_boot_to.
