Well, I've partially solved my problem: It seems there is a bug in the lpr/lpd 0.33.3 of the slink distribution (I checked the bug page on the debian.org site) I downloaded the
lpr_0.46-1-0slink1_i386.deb package, extracted manually and installed (after boackup of the old files /usr/sbin/ lpd lpc lpf pac and /usr/bin/ lpr lprm as good as //etc/init.d/lpd Now remote users can print. But local users cannot (only root can) and get following message : miraculix 106> echo ertfdsqfd | a2ps [stdin (plain): 1 page on 1 sheet] lpr: connect: Permission denied jobs queued, but cannot start daemon. What shall I do now ??????? Thank you for any help ! Cecile Cécile Hébert Souche http://cybele.mssmat.ecp.fr/whoswho/perso/CSouche/CSouche.html
