Without any checks, my first thing would be, to check in both computers if any
of the executables related to cups might have different rights settings.
Especially the executable, which creates the file in /tmp. A file which is

Hi again, after trying a few stuff out I think that when I try to
print using lp -dojs (or lpr -Pojs, where ojs is the name of the
printer queue I set up for the printer) then that program tries to
contact the server of the school, and not my local cups server where
of couse there is no ojs spool.

When magicfilter filter specifies a program that you don't have, nothing
happens (no error message is issued). For example: some w
Type 'lpq' and see what it says. Also, do 'tail /var/log/daemon.log' and see if

are any messages in there pertaining to lpd.

It looks like you're set to lp1, re-run magicfilterconfig --force

Ah ha, there's the problem . . . you said in your previous post that:
"I have installed my printer hp deskjet 500 with magicfilterconfig

Evidently your parrallel port is lp1 and not lp0, so rerun magicfilterconfig,
and
specify /dev/lp1 as the port instead of
What does your /etc/printcap look like?
When you used magicfilterconfig, did you exit by typing done, or did you
control-C .
. . (had a friend who kept control-C-ing to exit magicfilterconfig . . . he
never
mentioned that point, and I was baffled for weeks)

lprng has one feature I would like -- bounce queues. lpr can accomplish
this, but uses messy scripts to
