lp1 instead of lp0

Hi, I tried reading though all the cup-related messages to make sure this wasn't already answered....

When I select USB Printer #1 it sets USB DRI to:  USB://UNKNOWN. 

Setting it to USB Printer #2, this changed the DRI to USB://dev/usb/lp1

The problem is I have lp0.  I can fix it by making a link from lp1 to lp0 but this only works until I restart, then the link is gone.

There has to be a better way anyway to get it to see my printer..

Re: lp1 instead of lp0

well you could add a line to your startup scripts "ln -s etc etc"... but I suspect the real way would involve your devfs.conf ... of which I know barely enough to get around in..

Can't you just edit /etc/cups/printers.conf and change the port ?

I found that file.. but it seemed like Cups was creating it on the spot.. I changed it then it somehow got changed back to how it was.
