 Root only print to netcat printers We installed a new 5.0.7 server over the weekend. All printers that are using netcat cannot be printed to through the spooler unless you are root. Normal users give no error and if you disable the printer in the spooler the print job is sitting in the spooler system. Using: $ cat /etc/group | netcat -haplaser -p9100 will print the group file as a normal user. The interface files were taken from a 5.0.4 system (previous server) and were working fine. I have looked at permissions on pertinent files and they are as follows: --x--s--x bin lp lp --x--s--x bin lp lpr rwxr-xr-x lp lp netcat This has me stumped so far. Hope someone on the list has a fix. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =----      |

As a user, do date | netcat -h printerip -p 9100 If that prints, it isn't netcat's problem. Next, create the simplest possible model script shift 5 cat $* | netcat -h printerip -p 9100 Install a printer with that model. If that prints, your problem is in the lp system. If it doesn't, it's in your interface script.. if you don't know what to do after determining this, come back here again. -- Tony Lawrence Unix/Linux/Mac OS X resources: http://aplawrence.com |
