lpr printing problem in sid---temp file error

[Alan Davis <adavis@saipan.com>]

I am getting an error when trying to print in a sid system, with 
lpr as the print spooler.  I get an error

 under netscape 4.77:
         temp file write error

 in an xterm:
         bash-2.05$ lpr -Plp wordcount
         lpr: wordcount: temp file write error
         lpr: wordcount: empty input file
         bash-2.05$ 

I can print as root.  

I am using magicfilter.  Newly created spool files don't have locks in them or, really, any of the usual setup files.

dir /var/spool/lpd/

       bash-2.05$ dir -la /var/spool/lpd/hplj4l 
       total 2
       drwxrwsr-x    2 root     lp           1024 Jun  1 00:28 .
       drwxrwsr-x    8 lp       lp           1024 Jun  1 00:18 ..
       -rw-rw---x    1 root     lp              0 Jun  1 00:28 .seq
       bash-2.05$ 

I can print ok as root.

Can someone suggest which files, if any, I can change permissions on?
