I am setting up cups to replace lp on solaris.

I have compiled a package under solaris and this installs on the solaris 8 client just fine.  When I type

lpstat -a

as root on a client all the printers I have configured are shown.

when I login as a normal user and type

lpstat -a

I just get a prompt back and no printers are listed anmd there is no error.

What have I done wrong ?
