I know you all want to warn me about the dangers, but seeing as I am normally the first to warn, you can skip that step. I am trying to get an entry in printcap to pipe the print job to mpg123 on stdin to make an mp3 printer. I have it all working except when I print and view the log, i see that the lp user couldn't access the sound device, with the error: no suitable libao driver found (device is in use?) This happens on every box i have so it is not a localised issue. Please can someone either tell me how to give lp access to the sound device, or how to make lpd run as root. cheers --=20 Mat Harris OpenGPG Public Key ID: C37D57D9 mat.harris@genestate.com www.genestate.com=09 --FCuugMFkClbJLl1L Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE+SNHGEsYvZsN9V9kRAtDbAJoCshW1JCTf9qfE+CnusoAjc58PbQCgkJr0 z4ONmUHTkThSBiNJu6tlels= =5DhM -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --FCuugMFkClbJLl1L--
