Here's the output: srwxrwx--- 1 root wheel 0 Nov 21 23:14 /var/run/printer uid=1001(tim) gid=1001(tim) groups=1001(tim)
and this is the error I'm seeing: > /usr/bin/lpr -PHPLaser /home/tim/test lpr: Unable to connect to /var/run/printer: Permission denied lpr: Check to see if the master 'lpd' process is running. jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. Note that the lpd daemon is definitely running, so that's not an issue. I think that error means that it can't fork the daemon to handle this job. Also, here's what I see in the spool dir: > ls -la /var/spool/output/lpd total 144 drwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 0 Nov 21 23:17 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root daemon 0 Nov 21 22:52 .. -rw-rw---x 1 root daemon 4 Nov 21 23:17 .seq -rw-rw---- 1 daemon daemon 125 Nov 21 23:17 cfA204ocotillo.timdarby.com <http://cfa204ocotillo.timdarby.com/> -rw-rw---- 1 tim daemon 138992 Nov 21 23:17 dfA204ocotillo.timdarby.com <http://dfa204ocotillo.timdarby.com/> -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 32 Nov 21 23:15 lock -rw-rw-r-- 1 root daemon 25 Nov 21 23:14 status That job will stay in the queue forever until I restart the queue or "bump" it by printing something as root.
