problem with network printer

Install a network printer and I can only print with root login.
When I use another login creates the request and will not print and soon disappears.
please what should I do?

Can you post the following:
Operating System release.
Output of 'lpstat -t'
Output of 'ls -l /usr/spool/lp/admins/lp/interfaces'

Can you check if there is email from the lp process for either root or the user.

Check the files within /usr/spool/lp/admin/lp/interfaces/model.orig for permission. They should be 0755 or 0644 (usable by other, is the important factor). If there is only one set it to 0755.
Running 'integrity -e' will list all system files that do not have the correct permissions/ownership. Re-run until all errors are fixed.
Run scoadmin->printers->Printer Manager->, mark hp4015,
Tab to Settings->Advanced->Users, and make sure that all users are allowed to use the printer.
