Included in the dev rpm is /dev/printer, which shouldn't. This is a unix socket that is normally created each time that lpd is started so that the userland lp utils can communicate with the lpd daemon. The presence of the socket in the package seems to be confusing a lot of folks who assume that the disappearance of /dev/printer is a direct cause of print failure when it is in fact a side effect. Please remove /dev/printer from the dev rpm package. :)
fixed in dev-2.7.8.1-1.
