Can you create another account that's used for CUPS administration? I've done that on one SL6 machine so the application admins can deal with their printers. IIRC, I created a group and added it to the SystemGroup line in /etc/cupsd.conf. Assign the user account(s) membership to that group. - Bluejay Adametz, CFII, A&P, AA-5B, http://wildcorvid.org 186,000 miles/second. It's not just a good idea.
