Re: [Trisquel-users] CUPS permissions (after install rescue)

[jimgarrett]

Fixed it, did some reading online and found that adding my user to the  
lpadmin group was what was needed.


For the non-admin folks such as myself, that's

   usermod -a -G lpadmin USER

as described here:

[Trisquel-users] CUPS permissions (after install rescue)

[jimgarrett]

I had an install go awry but with this community's help managed to get it  
back on the rails, as described in this thread:


https://trisquel.info/en/forum/issue-grub-and-existing-home-partition-installing-trisquel-mini

Now I'm doing some cleanup and one issue I have is that I can't add a  
printer.  Using "Printers" GUI utility (I'm using XFCE but that's probably  
irrelevant), when I click "Add" I get the usual CUPS window but a dialog box  
asking for my user name and password also appears.  I enter my user name and  
password but it's not accepted.


While I'm at it, are there other permissions or cleanup activities I should  
check into?


Thanks in advance!
