printing error - help

[Flavius Moldovan]

Hello,

These are the permissions for tmp directory and the printer device:

drwxrwxrwt  15 root root 16384 Jan 28 12:34 /tmp

crw-rw-rw-  1 root lp 6, 0 Jul 29  2009 /dev/lp0

If I print to a file ( "-p /tmp/filename.txt") it works ok.

Thank you,
Flavius.
