I have lprn 3.2.1-1 installed and my permission in /var/spool/lpd are
different:
~/tmp$ ls -l /var/spool/lpd
total 9
drwxrwsr-x 7 lp lp 1024 Feb 10 20:56 ./
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 1024 Sep 21 11:23 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 root lp 2048 Feb 25 10:32 hplj5l/
drwxrwsr-x 2 lp lp 1024 Mar 25 1997 lp/
-rw------- 1 lp lp 4 Feb 25 09:04 lpd.lock.marvin.printer
drwxrwxr-x 2 root lp 1024 Feb 22 09:19 stc600/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root lp 1024 Feb 22 09:27 stc600-high/
drwxrwxr-x 2 root lp 1024 Feb 10 20:59 test/
Use
chmod 2775 /var/spool/lpd /var/spool/lpd/hplj6l
to correct this.
The g+s on the directory means, that files created in this directory
should inheritent its permission. This is obviously missing in your
(packages) setup.
