I have configured my printer using the Mandrake tool, which uses cups (the test page reports that the printer was set up using cups). This is an HP PS500 sitting on a Windows 2000 system, using SAMBA. The printer works fine when I am root, but when I am logged on as me, my requests are ignored (from Netscape, etc.). If I do am lpstat, I am prompted for a username and password. I have added myself to the lp group, so when I input the username and password lpstat delivers the information I have requested. This also works when I lpr filename. Along with the virtues of being able to print from Netscape, this problem also seems to be impeding Open Office from working for a user other than root (it just hangs there, come up fairly quickly from root). I have perused the documents, and it appears they have skipped over this very issue everywhere I look. thanks, mg
