You are not allowed to use the printer

 

Example of error message:

 

UX:lp: ERROR: You are not allowed to use the printer "ti810".

TO FIX: Use the lpstat -p command to list all

File Code: 0 Company #: 1

Error number 98 detected, in program: xxxxxx

Record error and notify MVSoftware to correct problem CR TO CONTINUE

 

This can happen in SCO unix 5.x if users have been added after a printer

has been added. This doesn't happen in SCO unix 3.x

 

Solution:

 

- Delete the allow and deny files for each printer.

cd /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/printers

rm */*.deny

rm */*.allow

cd /usr/lib

./lpadmin -p ti810 -u allow:any

(repeat above command for each printer name)

 

- Have the users logoff and back on.

 

- You may have to start and stop the lp scheduler

cd /usr/lib

./lpshut

./lpsched

- If that still doesn't work, then reboot the machine.
