[TriLUG] Serial usb devices permissions hot plug question on Rel 4

[Brian Henning]

I think the "right" way to handle this issue is to ensure that every 
process that needs to access the device be run under a user who is a 
member of the group owner of the usb device.

Nevertheless, I'd be interested in hearing another answer to this too, 
since I can't seem to get CUPS to run as the right user that has rw 
access to my USB printers (and end up manually setting o+rw on 
/dev/usb/lp* after every reboot and/or hot plug).
