/dev/ecpp0 always busy, can't print to HP

I've installed Ghostscript on an Ultra5 running Solaris 7 in order to print
to a Deskjet. The printer always shows the "Busy" light, though (when the
Ultra 5 is up, of course). When creating the printer queue through lpadmin,
I got a message that "ecpp0 can be accessed by other devices" and suggested
I change the ownership and rights for the device. I followed the advice only
after trying it the way it was, but in any case, I get no error messages and
the document reaches the queue....and just sits there

Thanks, Joe
