I just noticed that my cups install is under the group sys. Not what
I expected. Looking through the configure script for cups-1.1.23, the
default group is sys unless uname=Darwin. Since we install the lp
user as part of the lp group, I suggest we add
--with-cups-group=lp
to the configure command.
I don't remember if I changed these myself, but here are my
permissions for /var/spool:
$ ls -al /var/spool/
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 2005-12-22 19:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 2005-12-15 19:35 ..
drwx--x--- 3 root sys 4096 2005-10-27 20:57 cups
drwxrwx--- 2 fcron fcron 4096 2006-01-06 19:46 fcron
drwxr-xr-x 16 root root 4096 2005-12-07 20:53 postfix
I don't have to make /var/spool owned by group lp (or sys in my case).
I haven't printed anything in quite a while, though.
