Also 'lpc status lp'. > By cd'ing into /var/spool/lpd to look after queued jobs I noticed that the > whole file structure under that directory belongs to "root:frank" whereas the > /var/spool/lpd/-directory is owned by "root:daemon". Does that matter? Don't know, but I set group and owner to daemon:daemon. Incidentally, using the first name of the printer (lp) for the spooldir would make more sense to me. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
