Problem with lpr - cannot create temporary file
 

I am having a problem trying to redirect man output to my printer. I issue the command 'man -t kudzu | lpr' to which I get the response 'lpr: unable to create temporary file'

I am logged in as root

Using RH9

In Printer Configuration I have the printer defined as lp0 and I can print a test page to it

Any ideas???

This may help.

good luck.

Thanks, Peacedog!

That did help. I found in the cups conf file the temp path that was specified, and determined that it was missing. So, I created it and now all is well!

Glad you got it sorted mate.
good luck.
