[Bug 348316] Re: Printer (HWModel Name) May Not Be Connected

[Paul McQuesten]

Hardy (8.04 LTS) with Brother MFC-7340 via USB

Followed many Brother printer fix HowTo-s (cannot remember all of them). Finally, this:
      sudo chmod a+w /dev/usb/lp0

lets me print (and scanning still works, too).

Question: Is it reasonable to have the printer world-writable? Should
this be fixed some other way?
