Permission Denied Error with rastertostar

[John Harding]

I'm trying to get a Star TSP100 to print.  It's the only printer installed.

I've read through all the posts I can find on similar issues and I now know enough to be dangerous - but not enough to fix my problem...

OS: Fedora Core 6
CUPS: 1.2.12

cupsd.conf fragment:

LogLevel debug
# User lp        -- this is what I added to try and solve the problem
# Group root     -- this is what I added to try and solve the problem
SystemGroup sys root  -- this was the original state of the config

drwxrwx--T 2 root lp 4096 Jan 26 18:16 /var/spool/cups/tmp

I noticed that the cups spool directories have a user of lp so I tried adding that line to my cupsd.conf (and restarting) - still fails in the same way.

Help?

Thanks,
