Hello all!

I've just installed Mandrake 7.  Chose "high security" during
installation and maybe that was a bad choice.

Attempting to print as a normal user via either command line or the
Print button in Netscape gets me the error:

        [sphilp@tippy sphilp]$ lpr trans.txt
        lpr: cannot open printer description file

lpr is installed as:

        [sphilp@tippy sphilp]$ ls -l /usr/bin/lpr 
        -r-sr-sr-x   1 root     lp          16292 Jan 10 08:30
/usr/bin/lpr*            

/etc/printcap is installed as:

        [sphilp@tippy sphilp]$ ls -l /etc/printcap
        -rw-r-----   1 root     adm           486 Apr 27 00:02
/etc/printcap            



I've searched both the newbie and expert archives at mandrakesoft.com,
but it doesn't appear anyone has come across this problem (frankly,
that's a bit surprising!)

Known bug with a fix?  Missed a step during setup?  Any ideas?
