have adequate permission to use. If you were printing through a system spooler,
I don't think you'd get a permission problem. You may need to find out the
devices "filename" like, /dev/ptr0 or whatever it might be... on old SCO
the parallel port was actually /dev/lp0 or /dev/lp1 and so on. Then open up its
permissions to "world" or "other". Really, this is not a good solution
because a deamon might put it right back to its specified permissions in the
course of time... so better try and find out why you don't have a good system
spooler set up for this printer. When you printed the direct test, you
were probably working as a different user/group than the filepro
user.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>I try to print to a dot matrix printer connected to a
filepro server (linux redhat 4.4) on the parallel port. <BR>When I print a
text file using "lp -d printername textfile.txt" it works ok but when I try to
print from FilePro it gives me the error:<BR><BR>*** A System Error Has
Occurred ***<BR><BR>Cannot Open Print File<BR>printer: Permission
denied<BR><BR><BR>I have tried both the "-P printername" in the command line
and the "printer name "printername" " in the processing.<BR><BR>Does anybody
have any idea about what my problem might be?<BR><BR><BR>Thank
you,<BR>Flavius.<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>
