dlm@lymond:~$ls -l /dev/lp* crwxr-x--- 1 root lp 6, 0 Jul 5 2000 /dev/lp0 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 1 Jul 5 2000 /dev/lp1 crw-rw---- 1 root lp 6, 2 Jul 5 2000 /dev/lp2Did you attempt my previous command as root or as a normal user? If as a user, you need to exec this command as root "adduser SOMEONE lp" (replace SOMEONE with your username).When I do that I get the following: [root@lymond]#adduser dlm lp The user `dlm' is already a member of lp. [root@lymond]# that's what's so frustrating..
It seems lp0 is only writeable by root, so perhaps you could try to either print as root or do a 'chmod g+w /dev/lp0'.
