First thing I would try is sending the report to a file, once from root, and
again (to a different file) from a regular user. The same report should
produce identical files. If not, what is different about them?
If the files are identical, then try sending file file to the printer, again
once from root, and once from a regular user.
Use the command line:
cat filename | your_destination_command
Based on your post, that would be:
cat filename | lp -dprintlsr -s
Again, identical files sent to the same print command should generate
identical results.
At what point in the above does the difference appear?
