CUPS permmission prob - Am I dumb, or is the program dumb?

[angelb at bugarin.us]

Try these in your server's cupsd.conf:

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

<Location /admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthGroupName lp
AuthClass Group
Order Deny,Allow
Allow From All
Deny From All
</Location>

If you want to authenticate the rest, you can copy the directive from /admin as above and change it accordingly.

Now, to be able to do any administrative task, you need to add your account to /etc/group like the following:

lp:x:7:daemon,lp,grelli   (try using SystemGroup lp instead)

This should work for you.

Good luck!
