Most application use lpr to send print job to print server. lpr is not a program actually, it is just a symlink to lpr.cups. Some application does not use lpr but lp instead. For example, acroreader use lp on my system by default. Since it can not find lp or lp.cups, acroread cant print. To make it print, you have 2 options: create a symlink called lp in /usr/bin pointing to /usr/bin/lpr.cups or tell the application to use lpr instead of lp. Hope it help Thai
Thanks for the reply; great info. However, I checked in /usr/bin and there is already an 'lp' command there:
[jose@sweety ~]$ ll /usr/bin/lp lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Mar 6 2005 /usr/bin/lp -> /etc/alternatives/print-lp*
Also, why would printing from apps like firefox or ggv work for one user and fail for another? Thanks again.
