ive added nobody to the group user and removed the # before user and group.
now lppasswd errors with:
lppasswd: Unable to open passwd file: Permission denied

ive touched /usr/etc/cups/passswd.md5 and changed permissions to user nobody and after that doesnt worked to 777. its doing many things, but its not printing.
