Hi, I got a problem with printing via lpr on a remote print server, but it seems to be a local issue. Printcap entries are ok, the machine is a NIS client.
lpr gives me the following error message when trying to print a file: lpr -Plj4050n test.txt lpr: cannot open test.txt lpr: At least one file not readable. Nothing printed strace output gives me - among lots of output - this one: write(1, "lpr: cannot create /var/spool/lp"..., 51lpr: cannot create /var/spool/ lpd/lpd-lj4050n/.seq Now the strange thing: When setting permissions of /var/spool/lpd/* to 777, lpr -Plj4050n test.txt still doesn't work, but strace lpr -Plj4050n test.txt works with the same setup. permissions of /usr/bin/lpr: -rwsrwsr-x 1 root daemon 19580 May 15 2001 lpr How can just 's-tracing' the command fix the problem?? Please let me know if you need additional information about the system / setup! Thank you Christian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
