Re: apsfilter bug: Fault logged when printing usning samba and l

["Jon Hargreaves" <jonhargreaves@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks. I have now put acroread in the path but seem to have a new problem.

I am getting the following message in file errsGj7XhK:

apsfilter warning: unknown option 'dbserver.pfsuk.co.uk'
/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread: cd: /root: Permission denied
gawk: cmd. line:1: (FILENAME=- FNR=358) fatal: print to "standard output"
failed (Broken pipe)

Should I be changing permissions here somewhere, or should acroread be
changing to a different directory.

My guess, I suppose, is that it's being run as root whereas it should be run
as daemon or lp. Is this correct, or do I need to tweak something elsewhere?

Thanks for responding
