Problem is, printing in this way only seems to work with root privileges.
ls -l /dev/usb/lp0
You will probably find that the device node permissions are setup in such a way that your normal user cannot write to this node. Review your security protocols and ammend accordingly.
Can you please configure your email client/settings to not create a new thread each time you reply?
Just add your user to the lp group. Or give everyone permissions to write to the node. Or write a print job scheduler that runs as a root daemon with network ability (could hack CUPS scheduler for this) and user access controls? Heh you could even netcat your print job from another machine, suppliying encrypted password in the header.
