[opensuse] CUPS question
Fast question, i hope a fast (and straightforward) answer. For a user to add a CUPS printer at localhost:631 with add printer and that gets "Forbidden": Is ist sufficient to join him to the "lp" group? Or when is asked to provide user and password to cups it is always intended "root and password root"? Setup is a WLAN printer in Leap branched to a router (Fritzbox). The setting TCP raw 9100 does not work in Leap42.2 with this particular printer and one has to do it in CUPS via browser interface. He can ping the printer. The only problem the user has is to get the over the "forbidden". So, does lp suffice or should it be root? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

in the cups web interface I noted that the best working protocol is ipp then socket://hostname:9100 with the correct printer IP, of course jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Quick answer: I don't know.
However, cups has its own permissions.
cups-files.conf:
# Default user and group for filters/backends/helper programs; this cannot be
# any user or group that resolves to ID 0 for security reasons...
#User lp
#Group lp
# Administrator user group, used to match @SYSTEM in cupsd.conf policy rules...
SystemGroup root
cupsd.conf:
# Restrict access to the admin pages...
Yes. LP group is sufficient. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
