Thanks for all the replies. Russ

Here are the suggestions I recieved:

Check permissions on /dev/null they should be 666. Mine were ok.

Check permissions on /var/lp/logs. they should be 666. Mine were 660.

Check for proper path for lp by doing command: which lp as root and as
users. Making sure lp is in users path. Mine was ok.

Check for package SUNWpsr and SUNWlpmsg. Did not try this.
