Debug/error codes

[Joel Hammer]

With LPRng there is an lpd.perms file in /etc which controls access to the
printer. It is a nightmare to read. It makes sendmail look easy to
configure. I don't know a thing about your printing
software but there might be something similar.
As a last resort, you might look at the source code and see what is going on
there. (This rarely helps me but if you are at the end of your rope, why
not?)
