Permission Denied when cancel lp job

Sun E5000 running Solaris 8

I receive permission denied error when attempting to cancel a print job as root, user, or lp.
I found a tech tip that said to remove the tcp lp listeners but that didn't help. I can clean the queue using the old sun lpc command but my users need to be able to cancel their jobs themselves.
I have 4 systems running similar applications and the O.S. is the same but only the one system has the permission denied problem.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Do a
ls -l /usr/bin/cancel
it should be suid to lp.

Do a
find /var/spool/lp -type d -print | xargs ls -ld
all of those directories should be owned and writable by lp.
