OT: sco openserver 5.0.7 / LP Services / Filepro

[Doug Luurs]

Yes .. Both can use it .. I should have stated this is a Intermittence
problem.

It only pops up once and a while.  I've checked the file permissions of
the lp services
And they 'appear' to be correct.

BTW: 
	How that new youngin of your ?

First...

Can you print to this printer using the exact same command as you have
told
filePro to use, and not logged in as 'root'?

For example, if filePro is configured with "lp -dfoobar -s" then try:

    echo "This is a test" | lp -dfoobar -s

Make sure that you pass something through a pipe into lp, rather than a
filename on the command line, and make sure you try it as a non-root
user.
