I tried to login as root but that does not work either. I configured two USB 
printers on the same system P1 /dev/usb/lp0 and P2 /dev/usb/lp1
I the printers are switched off and then on again sometimes the system will 
confuse the two printers and when a job is sent to P1 it will be printed on 
P2. Sometimes the system will automatically add new printers
