25 Hi Helmut,
26 I also had this problem after installing CUPS. There is a trouble with
27 permissions, AFAIR you need to check that /var/spool/cups is accessible
28 to your user: that is, ensure that you're in the lp group and
29 /var/spool/cups group is lp. I can not be sure that this dir was the
30 only one to check but it was the permissions which was the problem.
