    Hi

    I'm having a problem writing a udev rule for my printer, I want it to
    always be setup as /dev/optra and have the following rule in
    /etc/udev/rules.d/010-udev.rules

    BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="6033190", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="optra"

    where the 6033190 is the serial number given by sysfs. This rules
    used to work, but I've noticed recently that the /dev/optra symlink is
    no longer being setup. This is with udev-0.70-1 and
    linux-image-2.6.12-1-k7 on sid

    If I change the device of the printer in cups to /dev/lp0, the device
    that udev assigns my printer then cups refuses to print with a "Media
    Tray Empty!" error, there is paper in the media tray.

    This is using the Vendor PPD.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers

    Adam
