Thanks, Marco,

this is indeed a very good general-pupose hint to be kept well in mind.

But I don't *think* it is the problem here, since the error message he gets
back is: "Warning - No PPD file found for 'printer_name'!".

 From this I think he had been already successfully authenticated as whatever
user he wanted to run the command as..

Cheers,
