Hi Kevin, Hi everone. Yes, that did it. Thanks! Steve. Thanks for the help.
Probably the program itself, /usr/local/lexmark/z32/lexmarkz32, should be set suid root.
As root try a chmod u+s /usr/local/lexmark/z32/lexmarkz32 and see if the users are able to use the program to write to the z32.conf file properly.

Hi everyone.
I think this is easy but I can't figure it out.
I have a Lexmark z32 printer with the (excellent) driver from Lexmark installed. The paper choice/resolution etc is controlled by the program
/usr/local/lexmark/z32/lexmarkz32
This program writes to a file at
/var/spool/lexmark/z32.conf.
My Question: root can write to this file from the above program and the resolution etc is changed accordingly. Try as I may, I cannot get myself as a normal user to be able to do the same thing. I have given the file global rw permissions but it remains at the settings I last used as set by root. Could it be something to do with the file's permissions in /usr/local? Or the /lexmark directory in /var/spool?
Thanks, Steve.
