on the interface scripts directory (/usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces)
is it? Check both directory and contents of the second one. Not sure
what the permissions, owner and group should be (on a Windoze system at

What is PT1 connected to: Mux card or parallel port? It maybe the
permissions on the device file are not correct...
