Re: Bug#697331: Please add the first created user to lpadmin
Control: reopen -1 Control: reassign -1 user-setup-udeb 1.38 Control: tags -1 +patch Hi all, apparently this bug slipped through and got closed as installation- report although the request hasn't been fulfilled as far as I could see. To tell a long story short; the first created user should be made member of the lpadmin group to make sure printers can easily be created through the CUPS webinterface http://localhost:631/. I've installed several Wheezy laptops for friends and everytime I was testing printing through the webinterface, it took me some time to realize that the user first had to be added to lpadmin. I think it's unnecessarily complicated and should be done straight away for the first user. (straightforward) Patch attached.

Hmmm, well, then I would say this is cups that changed its behaviour and made it a requirement to have privleges in order to add a printer, even plug n' play toys. Which makes sense to me. Indeed, even on Windows, unprivileged users cannot add local printers to the system (but most Windows users don't notice as they always virtually work as root on their machines). The requirement has been present for the past 10+ years when using the web interface of CUPS to add a printer. That makes it less of a requirement to have the first created user in lpadmin, after more thinking. This bug could then even be wontfix. Given the existing status of using group membership in d-i to grant the first created user limited privileges, I think the issue revolves round whether there is something special about the lpadmin group which would militate against adding it to the first user account. A Cc: has been sent to debian-printing to allow them to comment on the usefulness and wisdom of putting lpadmin in user-setup-udeb. Answering to that quite late, but I do agree it should be done.
