Clearly not; I don't understand why I can use it and saned can't.
I also am not clear on the udev setup required to get it to work.

As I said before:

I think you are having the same problem that i was having. Root owns the printer and has read/write permission. The group permissions( in this case the group root belongs to which only includes root has read and everyone else has only the read permission). It confused me as well the first time. So you must use chmod to make the printer accessible to everyone or try installing the printer while logged in as a member of the saned group. Can members of the saned group even see the printer? Does it show up in the drop down when they try to print or is the postscript/default the only thing present?
