Hi Ken, Here is the output on mine: drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 160 2009-01-01 02:35 /var drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 80 2009-01-01 02:30 /var/spool drwx--x--- 5 cupsys lp 60 2008-12-31 18:09 /var/spool/cups drwxrwx--T 4 cupsys lp 40 2006-05-17 08:46 /var/spool/cups/tmp Before I ran the lpadmin program I ran "groups" and verified my normal user was in the lpadmin group. I also tried running lpadmin as root and same error occurs. Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
