Topic: 4.0b & printers

[Glenn Kennedy]

4.0b is working nicely for me, except for my shared printer attempt. Setting up a printer appears to work properly from the manager, but when the winders clients send a print job, no dice. Is this feature activated/functional in the Feb 7 beta?

There are some permissions problems due to slightly different requirements of LPRng. A new beta will be out sometime soon, but in the meantime you should be able to get the printer working by doing:

chown daemon.daemon /var/spool/lpd/*
chmod 0700 /var/spool/lpd/*
