Re: question on proper ownership and permissions of /var/spool and /var/spool/output for printing

Check the path in /etc/printcap and make sure it's correctly set. You
want the spool directory (sd) to point at /var/spool/output/lpd. Note
that this changed some releases ago.

Permissions there should be:

drwxrwxr-x 2 root daemon 512 Sep 15 16:19 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 May 24 14:22 ..
-rw-rw---x 1 daemon daemon 4 Sep 15 16:18 .seq
-rw-r----- 1 daemon daemon 32 Sep 15 16:19 lock
-rw-r--r-- 1 daemon daemon 31 Sep 15 16:19 status

Cheers,

Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
