How do I access usb port properties. I need to set permissions.
I have a usb port problem. I am trying to set up printers to usb port. When I
I have setup printer to connect to usb. When I test connection, it prints. Any other part of printer setup, shows up in the Que, but will not test print.
Seem that my usb port does not have permissions set up properly. How do I set up permissions and keep them setup?
Thanks,

Reason: USB port permissions
are you in the lp group? if not, add yourself to that group.
next:
Code:
ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
or
Code:
ls -l /dev/usb/prn0
is the group set to lp?
if no for both, check the udev rules:
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules
It should say this:
# usb devices
[...]
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="lp[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k", GROUP="lp"
or
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="prn[0-9]*", NAME="usb/%k", GROUP="lp"
[...]
I have tested the previous post and created printers in yast and in CUPS. I still only get a test print to work in yast, printer, connection. Other test go to QUE.
When I go in CUPS and start, I get printer not connected.
it should list all the groups you are a member of. If you are not a member of the lp group, you should not be allowed to print, add yourself to that group in yast.
Besides someone claims your printer works great with the HP driver.
