Check the permissions on the device. I have a similar problem where for |
| 15 |
some reason the permissions on the device get changed to root:usb. It |
| 16 |
should be root:lp - at least, when I change to root:lp, the printer |
| 17 |
immediately starts working just fine. |

|
| 19 |
# lsusb |
| 20 |
to find the device, bus 003, device 008 in your case |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
# ls -l /dev/bus/usb/003/008 |
| 23 |
to confirm permissions |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
# chown root:lp /dev/bus/usb/003/008 |
| 26 |
to change the permissions |
| 27 |

I'm not sure when this started, but I first noticed it a few weeks |
| 29 |
ago. Not a huge issue, so I've not put much effort into trying to find |
| 30 |
the cause, I'm afraid. |
