    System is RH9.

    After a botched attempt to relocate /var due to drive space limitations, I had
    some scrambled permissions in various places in the /var tree. All that I
    found had changed to root:root. I used:

    rpm -Va | grep UG

    to produce a list of files with changed permissions, and all under /var have
    been restored to their original settings. The printer works from the command
    line, e.g.:

    ls -l > /dev/lp0

    The configuration has been checked and saved with the Redhat gui tool. It will
    print any appropriate test pages, and these tests create files in
    /var/spool/cups/. KMail prints and creates files in /var/spool/cups/. But the
    Gimp and OpenOffice do not print. They say they are printing, and do not
    produce any errors, but neither do they produce any printer activity. No
    files appear under /var/spool/cups/. I have checked and rechecked the
    settings, restarted the programs, and restarted cups.

    It looks like the jobs are spooling into a black hole. I have been unable to
    locate any evidence which might provide a clue. Any ideas?
