[cups] Couldn't open file Permission denied on spool files

[Collins, David]

Helge,

This was in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
SystemGroup sys root  (Left this directive)

There wasn't a Group directive so added this:
Group lp

Files are getting created with lp however still getting this error in the error_log

Look into /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (as root) and look for a Group directive.
I that is nobody, try changing it to lp.
