Re: [SOLVED] Cups 1.4.1 - Printer no longer detected

speng,

I had the same issue with an Epson Photo RX510 printer/scanner combo. Tried everything suggested in this an other threads, but in the end this is what fixed it for me:

I noticed that the printer device belonged to the 'scanner' group. Try changing it to 'lp':

$ sudo chown root:lp /dev/bus/usb/002/003

replacing the usb bus and device numbers to where your printer sits. After this restart cups, go the its web interface, Administration -> Find New Printers.

Hope it will work for you as well.

Dude, THANKYOU, i was stuck on this for hours. your a life saver mate. thanks!:cool:
