Can't cancel jobs unless root

[g4c9z at unb.ca]

Sorry for the delay, people - I think I was waiting for it to e-mail me that I got a reply and then forgot about it.  My cupsd.conf was different - it had this:

<Location />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>

and the jobs section was empty.  I added the AuthType and AuthClass like yours but it didn't seem to have an effect.  (I don't want to allow printing from all computers but only local printing).  From the documentation, it seemed like those lines would make it ask for a username and password from all users - or does it really cause cups to look at the user who printed the document and allow that user to cancel his/her own jobs?

I noticed that I can cancel the job from the KJobViewer that appears when I try to print (part of KDE) as a regular user; it's only through the CUPS web interface that I can't.  I suppose for now I can use KJobViewer as a workaround, but that won't help me if I later decide to stop using KDE. :)

I start printing something as a regular user, and when I go to cancel it through the web interface (http://127.0.0.1:631/), it says "client-error-forbidden".  Shouldn't I be allowed to cancel any job that I started?
