Hi -
I have got the most baffling problem. I've set up a printer on
FreeBSD 3.2 and I can print just fine... and *I* can use lprm to cancel
jobs, but no one else can. At first I thought perhaps it was because I am
in the "wheel" group, but I added someone else and they still can't. root
can use lprm on anyone's jobs okay.
/var/log/lpd-errs doesn't report any errors at all. Any idea what in the
world is going on? Thanks! (Please reply via email as well).
Info (I killed the lpd daemon so nothing actual prints, but I can test):
