Printing Problem

Hello ! We have SCO-Open 5.0.5 installed on HP Server. We are facing printing problem.Printer is connected to Server previously it was working fine but suddenly its giving problem.After printing 1 or 2 pages it stops the printing and when we run lpstat -t command it gives following error

"Can not change print directory to Spool directory " 

For this we have reconfigured Parallel port as well as printer but same problem is coming.

Obviously you have permissions issues or completely missing directories. Go read part 7 of the FAQ here.

when we connect Dot Matrix Printer to the server it works fine but when we connect Line printer it prints 2/3 pages and gives following error.


lpstat : Could not stat spool directory for /dev/pr0
lpstat : /dev/pr0 : can not chdir to spooling directory.

when we connect this line printer to windows machine line printer works fine .

so can you pls help me out where exactly the problem is ?
