Upon each bootup /dev/lp0 is getting created with permissions to allow root and group lp rw access.
The printer shows unavailable. print jobs error out saying "unable to write to /dev/lp0"
cupsd is running as root
parallel is running as lp
As soon as I add +rw to all users it is fine. This does not feel like the correct "solution".
