AIX Printer Problem

Printer set up. Can be printed to via root from command line and also via X-Print. Any non root user can use X-print and it works, however and non root user can't print from command line.

We've checked the obvious being permissions, on commands and print queues.

Any ideas please?

Cheers
Greg
 
what you could do is make a little script,named lp ( you put it in a different directory than lp, and change your path to look in that directory first ).In that script you do a sudo,so printing is done with root permissions.This is a workaround while looking for the solution of the issue.
 
If you add that user under "printq" group, how it goes?
