Default only root can print

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a weird problem here.

I'm on solaris 9 and the print jobs are spooled local and then send to a
hp jetdirect box.


If I try to print as a normal user:

$ banner hallo | lp -d hp5mis
request id is hp5mis-7632 (standard input)

The print job turns up in the lpstat -t command for a few seconds and
then vanishes. I also can see the job in the /var/lp/logs/requests. It
looks really like it was sent to the printer, but it wasn't. (Can't see
anything with snoop)
Also couldn't find anything in the /var/adm/messages.


And, if I do the same as root, everything looks the same, but it works.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Wolfgang
