I had a closer look, and one fix would be to tell cups to treat all members of one of the groups granting privileges as a system user. This can be done by adding the to the list of privileged groups in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, using the SystemGroup statement. We have two privileged groups at the moment. The gosa-admins group and the teachers group. I suspect it make most sense to use the teachers group, or perhaps create a new printer-admins group. We can perhaps also add the lpadmin group to LDAP and use that as the printer admin group, but I am unsure how the cups postinst will handle it if the group is in LDAP and not in /etc/group. If we change /etc/cups/cups-files.conf to have a statement like this, I believe all teachers can configure printers: SystemGroup lpadmin teachers -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
