printing error - help

[John Esak]

It sounds like you are trying to print to a device that you don't have
adequate permission to use. If you were printing through a system spooler, I
don't think you'd get a permission problem.  You may need to find out the
devices "filename" like, /dev/ptr0  or whatever it might be... on old SCO
the parallel port was actually /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 and so on. Then open up
its permissions to "world" or "other".  Really, this is not a good solution
because a deamon might put it right back to its specified permissions in the
course of time... so better try and find out why you don't have a good
system spooler set up for this printer.  When you printed the direct test,
you were probably working as a different user/group than the filepro user.
 
Good luck, I know this wasn't much help.

Hello,

I try to print to a dot matrix printer connected to a filepro server (linux
redhat 4.4) on the parallel port. 
When I print a text file using "lp -d printername textfile.txt" it works ok
but when I try to print from FilePro it gives me the error:

*** A System Error Has Occurred ***

Cannot Open Print File
printer: Permission denied


I have tried both the "-P printername" in the command line and the "printer
name "printername" " in the processing.

Does anybody have any idea about what my problem might be?


Thank you,
Flavius.
