Default lp errors

OSR 5.0.6.

A system with hundreds of users and hundreds of printers and hundreds of
printing jobs every day yesterday produced six or seven error messages
like the following for various printer destinations:

- - - - - - -
Subject: Status of lp request laser14-123456

Your request laser14-123456 encountered an error
while printing on printer laser14.

Reason for failure:

shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: Permission denied
shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent
directories: Permission denied
- - - - - - -

I can't figure out what is wrong; many other jobs from the same users
and many others to the same printer destinations did not fail.
