[cups.general] "unable to open print file..."

Trying to print a test page on my new install (self-compiled on Solaris
9, using a Xerox Phaser 5400, with a Xerox-provided PPD), gives the
following in both /var/log/cups/error_log and the web interface:

"unable to open print file "/cups-local/var/spool/cups/d00004-001" -
Permission denied" 

Given that cupsd is running as root, and root owns (and can write to)
that directory, this doesn't make much sense.

A possibility: the contents of that directory are called 'c00003' and
'c00004'; nothing starting with 'd's.

Could the 'permission denied' actually be a 'no such file'?

Thanks!
