cups

[perthie]

--with-cups-user=tc --with-cups-user=staff

That works! It's not a udev issue at all.

[Edit] I've tested CUPS 1.3.11 with a variety of printers, protocols and drivers. It looks good.

This package will auto-start and does not need a login.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks - I uploaded it again (my home internet connection is terrible at the moment) and it checks out OK.

samba link works; needs that extra /cups start to get it going.

There's also a post somewhere by perthie explaining how to modify cupsd.conf so that the username/password is not requested.

[perthie]

The extension cups1311.tczl uses a cupsd.conf that does not require logins. It is based on the familiar CUPS 1.3 series.

Stumbled across this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/420015

Looks like the cups 1.4 usb backend collides with the kernel's usblp module.
