Hi,

Just switched from FC5 to FC6.
I come thru different pbs. 

One of them is my printer Brother-HL1250 doesn't work anymore.
I have a dual boot, so I saw it works fine using Windows (so the printer is 
working), but using Linux, I can't make it to print anything, as a simple 
user but also as root.

Using http://localhost:631/ it shows me the following message :
"Unable to open parallel port device file "/dev/lp0": Permission denied".

THis is a snapshot of the error_log file :

I tried with different settings, but narda it doesn't want to work. 
Help would be appreciated, Thank you. Francois
