lpstat: can't open output queue file

[Huda]

hi experts,
i'm getting "lpstat: can't open output queue file" when i'm trying lpstat using another userid than root.
outputq file already has 644 permission.

Shalom Huda,

What user owns the ouptuq file?

Is it the same as the other users.

Is there anything else in syslog? /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Hi,

Can you check /var/adm/lp/log and revert.

Yes, usually is either the permission or owner issue. If the permission is correct, check the owner; it should be similar to below. Change using chown when necessary.

# ll outputq
-rw-r--r-- 1 lp sys 996 Nov 7 11:41 outputq

there are no errors in /var/adm/lp/log, only records for some requests.

[Huda]

The owner and group is also correct.
