Jochen, You are approaching this problem from the wrong angle; Cups is doing the right thing but I think your Samba is misconfigured. Look in the printers section of your smb.conf and change the path directive to somewhere outside the lpd area that is world-writable. We use /tmp, but you might want to create /var/spool/samba or something. Bob On Thu, 2 May 2002, Jochen Staerk wrote:

Hi List,

When I set access permissions on /var/spool/lpd/lp to public writeable, my samba does work fine, but when i restart, cups (?) changes them back to rwx------ lp lp

i can't find any file where i could configure cups not to do so - is there one? is there another possibility except running a script at startup that changes those permissions?

The message Permissions for /var/spool/lpd ? From: Robert Casties (robert.casties@philo.unibe.ch) at Fri Nov 12 1999 - 04:54:41 PST matches my problem and changing /var/spool/lpd permissions doenst work with me (doenst affect anything).

thanks&ciao Jochen
