Thank you for your words of wisdom.
After I read your reply I thought about what all had been done and realized that initially I may have been running cura as root from the cli after installing cura from the ultimaker site.
When the printer problem started I removed the ultimaker version and installed the fedora version that can be run from the gui so it was then running as my user. That is when I totally lost the printer.
When I checked the dev file for the printer, sure enough it belonged to the group 'dialout' so after adding my user to that group I once again can access the printer.
Now I still have to fix the problem that started all this, which is the hot end is not heating up..... grrrr.
Guess I have to get a new extruder hot end, but that is a separate problem so on to the tasks at hand.
Not to be critical, but to avoid confusion for future readers I think the way you intended that command to read was "useradd -G dialout $USER"
Once again, Thanks to you @Dust.
