- I just have one more problem with lpr. It works fine if I'm root,
- but when I "lpr filename" as any other user, I get the error message:
-
- lpr: cannot chown /usr/spool/lp1/tfA012softland
-
- /usr, /usr/spool and /usr/spool/lp1 are all world rwx.
-
- I suspect it's a permission bit problem, but don't know where else
- to change permissions.
-
- As always, any help is appreciated. To reduce traffic on comp.os.linux,
- email your response and I'll summarize.
