Okay, I've got two USB printers which don't play well with CUPS; depending which I turn on/off I get the ole lp0 lp1
switch-a-roo. So I decied to take actiaon to rid the lp0/lp1 problem and added the file /etc/udev/rules.d/10-udev.rules with the following lines:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="H80090312041247250", NAME="lp_cx6400" , SYMLINK="printers/cx6400"
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="FM7CC0305061255060", NAME="lp_c42ux" , SYMLINK="printers/c42ux"
When I power up the Epson c42ux (or the cx6400, just using the c42ux as an example) I get the following log entries in /var/log/messages; however, I do not have a /dev/lp_c42ux or /dev/printers/c42ux

From everything I googled and read so far, the /dev/ entries should be created automagically. Is there something that's not obvoius that's different in Fedora? Was I reading old docs for udev? Or am I just missing something obvious? Any pointers would be much appreciated.
