The debugging messages are logged to stderr Standard error is the directed to a logfile, which is configurable by the :lf=/some/path: config statement in /etc/printcap. But for some strange reason the stderr output won't be written to the logfile ... Double check the path ... check the permissions of the spool directory itself ls -ld directory Send the output to the mailinglist ... > I am running debian.

It should log without problems ! > It is a totally frustrating problem that doesn't make sense. Run FreeBSD, you simply install the add on ports, thats it. Never had permissions problems like that using it. Thats another recommendation, but I'm sure here are people listening that bash me concerning that statement ;-))) Folks, I hope you have still some humour ;-)) > Thanks for your help.
