Hello,

I had to set up a cups server and I followed the freebsd cups
article<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/>.
I have a Samsung USB printer and after reading and applying the conditions
mentioned in chapter 3
(devfs.rules)<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/cups/printing-cups-configuring-server.html>I
noticed that cups was unable to detect my printer. That, until I
stumble
across a blog that explained the reason. Cups is unable to read the symlink
created from ugen*.* and the permissions on ugen need to be adjusted too.
So, I added "add path 'ugenX.Y' mode 0660 group cups" to my devfs.rules and
I believe this extra info is worth mentioning in the article.

Please advise if otherwise.
