RH 6.1/Intel 2.2.12 The following messages appear during print operation: shell-init: could not get current directory:job-working-directory: could not get current directory: job-working-directory: could not get current directory: /tmp/.26536.tmp print operation does succeed. what do the messages mean and how they be prevented?
It means that the shell can't read the directory it's currently running out of. What are the permissions on /var/spool/lpd/<whatever your printer name is>/?
Closing this for now - if you're still having the problem, feel free to re-open it with more information.
