Thank you, I have now updated to CUPS 1.2. I am trying to figure out how to set a policy for allowing the cancellation of jobs by a non-root user with the command line command cancel.
I am not sure but is the "Policy" section in cupsd.conf only for the webinterface or does it also affect the command-line commands?
Any hints on how to set the policy would be great!
