members of the lp group will be able to mess with the printing system ie
potentially get root access by modifying cups' config.
If you want to go via group you have to add your own one. But then that's still
retarded. The clean solution is via hal so ACLs can be used.
Even then I'd in general vote against allowing users access to all parallel
ports just because some package got installed (just like you don't start
arbitrary deamons on package install). There could still be a printer connected
to any of the available ports. So some sort of configuration would be needed
always.
