lpr: Unable to open temporary file

| Can anyone point me in the right direction on this:
|
| When running any rreport job to a printer or even hard copying the
| screen, the following is appearing on screen:
|
| lpr: unable to create temporary file
|
| I am able to send jobs to printers from the command line but not from
| within filepro.

Fedora Core 1. It's a box that's been in existence for going on two 
years. It's been working fine. filePro printing has been fine all along, 
until now. Obviously something has changed. I can print from the command 
line as any user. PFTMP=/tmp. /tmp permissions are drwxrwxrwx (okay I'm 
sure that's wrong). Sorry, someone else setup the box, I just use it. 
The specific message to the screen when doing a "H-Hardcopy" is "unable 
to create temporary file.". When running an rreport job, the message is: 
"lpr: unable to create temporary file." The same printers as always are 
defined in filepro.

Other ideas?

Tom
