chmod 770 /usr/spool/<spool dir. name>
chown daemon /usr/spool/<spool dir. name>

must be made into the '/etc/printcap' file.
The first line of this entry must start at the beginning of the line, the
following entries are preceded by a tab character. All lines belonging
to one entry must have a backslash (\) character at the end of a line.
No other character is allowed between the last character in a line
and the backslash. The backslash character itself must be the last
character in a line.
