printing problems

[adrian]

I upgraded from Mandrake 7.2 to 8.1 and lost the ability to print.

Here are some diagnostics:

[root at snowy18 init.d]# ./lpd restart
Stopping lpd:                                              [  OK  ]
Starting lpd: Warning - Printer: cannot stat lp device '/dev/lp0' - 
Permission denied
                                                            [  OK  ]
[root at snowy18 init.d]# ls -l /dev/lp
lp0  lp1  lp2
[root at snowy18 init.d]# ls -l /dev/lp0
lr-xr-xr-x    1 lp       lp             15 Jul 23 09:14 /dev/lp0 -> 
/dev/printers/0
[root at snowy18 init.d]# ls -l /dev/printers/
total 0
crw-rw----    1 lp       lp         6,   0 Jul 16 17:00 0
[root at snowy18 init.d]# ls -l /dev/printers/0
crw-rw----    1 lp       lp         6,   0 Jul 16 17:00 /dev/printers/0
[root at snowy18 init.d]#

It tells me I don't have permissions for /dev/lp0 but lp user and group 
have read and write permissions.

Any suggestions
