[Bug 602284] Re: Administration - Printing - Add requires 'root' user
In Ubuntu and Debian you just need to add the user to the lpadmin group to add printers, modify settings, etc for cups. Normally the first user has been granted this permission. Did you install Ubuntu from desktop live cd? Are you the first user? ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602284 Title: Administration - Printing - Add requires 'root' user -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 602284] Re: Administration - Printing - Add requires 'root' user
Hello Pascal, I'll try adding everyone to the lpadmin group to see what happens, but I believe I tried it before and it didn't work. And yes, the first user added to the machine does have this privilege after all. That user's username isn't entered as default in the dialogue box - 'root' is. Perhaps changing that would fix this problem as well. These installations are all done using netinstall over PXE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602284 Title: Administration - Printing - Add requires 'root' user -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
