[cups.general] Allow anyone to start a printer?

[Minatra, Pat H.]

I wrote a unix script run through cron by an autorized user (not root)
that checks for downed print queues every ten minutes and if they are
down it brings them back up.  Works really good and it is accepted very
well.  We are on CUPS v.1.1.23 on a Linux Red Hat v.4.0 OS.

HTH and have a GREAT day!

Subject: [cups.general] Allow anyone to start a printer?

For some reasons, sometimes at our office our printers are stopped (as
reported in the CUPS web interface).  So, I have to enter my root
password to start the printer.  (Then, there are problems when I'm not
around to do it.)

Is there a way to automatically restart printers?  Or, is there a way to
allow anyone in 192.168.0.x to start any printer without a password?
