Permission problem
I'm trying to set up my printer and some how my permissions have gotten messed up.When I as root;
touch test.txt echo "Hello World" > test.txt cat test.txt > /dev/usb/lp0 I get a permission denied I'm useing Gentoo with a HP3650 printer.I have not done any thing that I can think of and I have never ran into this before,thanks |
Does it work for a user? What are the permissions?
good luck. |
andy:~$ echo "Hello World" > /dev/usb/lp0
bash: /dev/usb/lp0: Permission denied andy:~$ However, this doesn't seem to be a problem (for me at least) as printing through cups is working fine. Perhaps your problem lies elsewhere? |
Thanks for the replys,the modules usbcore and usblp are loaded but /dev/usb/lp0 is not being seen.It is over my hurting head. I have set this printer before without a problem,could it be in the kernel,I enabled support as modules, I think I will try to enable support directly into the kernel and see what happens,thanks again david
