print/cups-base 1.2.0_2 and locally connected printer

[Rick Voland]

It seems to be a permissions thing.

$ ls -l /dev/lp*
crw-------  1 root  wheel    0,  33 Jun 25 16:47 /dev/lpt0
crw-------  1 root  wheel    0,  34 Jun 25 16:47 /dev/lpt0.ctl
$ /usr/bin/su
Password:
brian# chmod go+rw /dev/lp*
brian# ls -l /dev/lp*
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  33 Jun 25 16:47 /dev/lpt0
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    0,  34 Jun 25 16:47 /dev/lpt0.ctl


brian# pwd

------

Now, I can print to the parallel port.  I didn't have to do this with
print/cups-base 1.1.23.0_9.
