Hey Johannes
Oddly, if I just add a user to lp in the lab I still do not have access
to printer state in SUSE.
I typically have to assign the sys group to the user or add lp to my
cupsd.conf. Under sys I can freely control the printer without password.
Adding users to the cupd.conf I still have to input my password but it
works.
My current config has the printer with owner:group as lp:lp and
permissions 664.
Am I missing something?
