[cups.general] Printer Control

[Minatra, Pat H.]

The Software Administrators Manual hints at this option, it shows

<Location /printers/name>
....
<Location>

So, how do I fill in the blanks?

I guess I am looking for examples as to how to put in the info which I
cannot find.  If I were guessing something like:

<Location /printers/name>
/printers/IMAP12
Allow from user=userlogin
op=start-printer,stop-printer
</Location>

Or is it:

<Location /printers/IMAP12>
Allow user userloginid
op=start-printer,stop-printer
</Location>

The documentation is weak and I am not clear, any help would be
appreciated as I really need to do this.

Thank you so much!  Have a GREAT day!

Can you let me know which manual?

I have gone through the user manual to no avail and I am now going
through the Administrators manual but if it is there I am not seeing it
or do not know what to key off of.

Thank you so much!

In your cupsd.conf, you may specify the access parameters for a specific
printer by
<Location /printers/name_of_the_respecive_printer?op=operation_name>
.... 
</Location>

where operation_name is the name of the operation like stop-printer,
start-printer, hold-job, release-job,
etc., and "..." denotes all the allowed access specifications (deny,
allow, require valid-user, etc. etc.).
See the documentation for further details.
