Install a network printer but I can only print with root 2

[ejg777]

Install a network printer and I can only print with root
if I use another login creates the request and soon disappears, but does not print
please tell me what to do to correct this?

Check the permissions on the interface script.

You need to give a bit more information on how the printer is configured (i.e. HPNP, NETCAT, LPR, SAMBA).

What version of SCO is this?

What happens when you enter the following in console mode as an ordinary user?

lp -dhp4015 /etc/inittab

Do you have CUPS as your backend spooler? If so, review the security setup for CUPS.

Do you know if you are using LPR, HPNP or some other frontend? (we can't tell from the lpstat output)

Problem with the permissions is probably on a higher level, /usr/spool/lp. You might want to try /etc/fixperm to fix it. For the good use: man fixperm

Greetz, Wim. Please remember, The Netherlands is in a different timezone.

 

[edgarciber]

the operating system is SCO OpenServer 6.0
I do not use cups
install it as hpnp

 

[motoslide]

Check the permissions in the /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/model.orig directory. HPNP is pretty good about getting those right, but it's worth checking anyway.

Also check the contents of /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/hp4015. Look at the "users.allow" and "users.deny" files (don't worry if they are missing).

Did you get an error when you ran the command as suggested by Pat?

hi

user.allow and user.deny are missing

when using lp-dhp4015 / etc / inittab from an ordinary user
create the request but then disappears without printing
I do not use cups but is installed
if I use root is normally printed

 

[patw]

You are really using CUPS - the SCO lp command is using CUPS as the backend if CUPS is installed, unless you specifically symlinked lp to the SysV version of lp.

Check the security setup for CUPS.

Also, try creating users.deny as a zero length file.

I don't have access to a 6.0 machine at the moment, but under 5.0.7 it should be in:

/var/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers/<printer name>/users.deny

Can you see if there are any clues in the user's mailbox? Check /usr/spool/mail/{username}. The LP program will sometimes throw errors in there.

This still sounds like a permissions issue on the interface file, or something the interface file is trying to spawn. Did you check the corresponding interface file:
/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces/model.orig/hp4015

dear friends
Thanks for your interest and support
the problem was that he was sending, or nobanner and I was not accepting
you remove this parameter and set it up with scoadmin banner = 0 and it was resolved
thank you very much to all
