Okay, here's where I'm at: I checked the permissions of the log directories and files and the files are all set to 0660.
LPR is setuid root [I used 'find / -perm -4000 -print' to check ] I tried 'lpr -D 1 <textfile>' and got this: bash$ lpr -D 1 dell_specs.txt 2001-01-06-17:29:32.042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Get_printer: original printer '<NULL>' 2001-01-06-17:29:32.042 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Get_all_printcap_entries: starting 2001-01-06-17:29:32.043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Get_all_printcap_entries: starting 2001-01-06-17:29:32.043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Select_pc_info: looking for 'all', depth 0 2001-01-06-17:29:32.043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Select_pc_info: returning '<NULL>' 2001-01-06-17:29:32.043 [EMAIL PROTECTED] [13397] lpr Dump_line_list: Get_all_printcap_entries- All_line_list -

It also appears that the job is being sent and cleaned up. I don't see a filter being used, but I'm not sure. A few other notes: - I'm using lprng and I've removed and re-installed it. - I've set the permissions on the /dev/lp0 back to 0660. - I REALLY appreciate all the help I'm getting! thanks, jc On Sat, Jan 06, 2001 at 01:08:58PM +0000, Jo Geraerts wrote: > Hello, > > > On Fri, 5 Jan 2001, Jeffrey S.
