Sorry. I asked these questions imprecisely so got the wrong answers back. My
fault, I'll try again.

1. I'd like to see the ownership of and permissions on the directory
/var/spool/lpd/lp itself, not on its contents. To do that, I guess you need
to run

        ls -l /var/spool/lpd |grep lp

2. The lpd I want to see ownership of and permissions on is the executable,
not the spool directory. Probably " ls -l /usr/sbin/lpd" .

You probably have a mismatch between those two sets of
ownership/permissions. Running as root overrides the conflict (since root
can, sort of, do "anything"), but is shows up when running as an ordinary user.
