udev rules to automatically apply 666 permission
Hi on my linux box the device node for my printer is by default setup as the following:
crw-rw---- 1 root lp 189, 1 Apr 3 07:45 /dev/bus/usb/001/002 This causes cups to not print at all. The Hp backend (HPLIP) fails because of these permissions. How do I change it so that it's crw-rw--rw 1 root lp 189, 1 Apr 3 07:45 /dev/bus/usb/001/002. Ie I would like 666 file permission on that node. I'm not familiar with udev so a step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated. |
did you try to run this command as a root:
# chmod 666 /dev/bus/usb/001/002 ? |
yes thanks for the suggestion but that isn't permanent. The udev files get removed after the device is unpluged or switched off. Actually Hp drivers had a file called 55-hpmud.rules. I just changed the mode to be 666 instead of 660. That was painless lol.
SYSFS{idVendor}=="03f0", SYSFS{idProduct}=="??11", OWNER="root", GROUP="lp", MODE="666" |
