I tried to install an HP LaserJet 4350 network printer using the PPD files. The nearest printer driver I assumed could be used was the HP LaserJet 4300 type (although I did try with other types to see if they would work).
The strange thing that happened was that root could print to the printer once and once only. Subsequent attempts to print to the printer, either by root or a normal user, were met with "notifying user" messages in the lpstat -[t|o] output then a cancellation of the print job and an email message from the lp daemon stating that the print job had been aborted because it could not read 'the temporary file ""'. I did not install the Trusted Extensions packages but think that this problem may be related in some way to an in-built security control. I checked file ownerships and permissions and all of the appropriate directories in /var/spool/lp and /etc/lp were owned by user and group 'lp'. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
