User cannot print to printer but works for super user

[josel]

Howdy!

I finally got a remote printer to work using 'netcat' and an HP Printer server.

Loged in as "root" I can print to it without a problem. However, while loged in as a regular user, nothing happens.

I got one of the users to go to the command prompt and printed to target printer and we got the usual "request ID is remotelp-20 (standard input)" ... No error message and yet, nothing prints.

We check the printer queue and there is nothing pending to print.

I checked /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces and ~/model.orig and made sure they had proper permissions - I think they do

-rwxrwxr-x   1 lp       lp          3133 Jan 27 15:13 palmlaser

and the model.orig look as follows

-r-xr-x--x   1 bin      lp         19308 Jan 27 15:15 palmlaser

/usr/bin/netcat looks like this

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     sys        13948 Jan 23 07:53 /usr/bin/netcat

What must I do to get this resolved?

Thank you all in advance!

Well, I got the answer.

I changed mode for ~/model.orig/palmlaser and added (+r) read rights. Doing this, solved the problem.
