Package: lpr
Version: 5.9-15
Hello there,
I have found a problem in running "lpr" on "hamm".
# My kernel level is 2.0.30.
# My libc5 level is 5.4.23.
# My libc6 level is 2.0.4.
# I am using the "magicfilter" that is configured with
# /usr/sbin/laserjet-filter.
/* symptom */
I have installed lpr_5.9-15.deb, but it does not print when invoked
on a non-previledged user, while it *does* print on "root".
# Before upgrading to 5.9-15, I was using 5.9-13.1 that worked
# appropriately on my installation.
Let me type on the command line as the following:
$ lpr foo.asc
It does not print, and it gives the following error message:
lpr: cannot create /var/spool/lpd/hplj5p/.seq
Hereinabove, "hplj5p" is my spool directory.
/* diagnosis */
In my opinion, the relevant executables have a wrong permission
in /usr/bin. After upgrading to 5.9-15, the permissions are:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6666 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lpf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13152 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lpq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14172 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lpr
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 13044 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lprm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4664 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lptest
However, lpq, lpr, and lprm should have the "s" bit turned on for
the user and group, as in version 5.9-13.1.
I have observed that I can work around this problem in turning the "s"
bit on, e.g.:
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 14172 Jul 8 23:30 /usr/bin/lpr, etc.
^ ^
# Another observation is that the owner of lpq, lpr, and lprm is
# "root.root" in version 5.9-15, whereas it was "root.lp" in version
# 5.9-13.1. But I am unable to say whether this change has a crucial
# role in this problem.
Best regards,
Michael

Corrected in 5.9-17. Please test it, I don't use lpr.
