lpq & gnome 2.16 upgrade issue? lpq: unable to connect to server

[Jeffrey Racine]

Hi.

I upgraded to gnome 2.16 a few days ago, and just realized that lpr/lpq
and now acting oddly... I have used this system for 2 years with zero
problems. Our sysadmin told me there have been zero changes to our print
servers. Below you will see it is a perm issue that has manifested
itself alongside the gnome upgrade though it may be totally unrelated...

uname -a

FreeBSD pc-racine1.mcmaster.ca 6.1-RC2 FreeBSD 6.1-RC2 #0: Wed May  3
10:02:44 EDT 2006  

The issue, in a nutshell, is that suddenly I can't print when logged in
to an account other than root... I have no idea what could have caused
this unless gnome does some perm changes... if this is the wrong forum
please forgive, and if you have any suggestions many many thanks.

As root all is well...

pc-racine1# lpq
JetDirect lpd: no jobs queued on this port
pc-racine1# exit

As myself (non-root) no go...

[jracine at pc-racine1 jracine]$ lpq
lpq: Unable to connect to server
