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"?
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... <Location /admin> Order allow,deny </Location> You might add there a user that would have access, see if it works. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
