we use cups-1.2.4 and for admin reasons a user cups in a local group cupsadm. the admin-access is o.k. :
<Location /admin>
  Encryption Required
  AuthType Digest
  Require user @cupsadm
but we wish to cancel jobs (remote) also with user cups.
What I have to do for configuration cupsd.conf ?
The following entries do not allow access
  <Limit Cancel-Job CUPS-Authenticate-Job>
    Require user @OWNER @SYSTEM @cupsadm
    Order deny,allow
  </Limit>
in the error_log then I see:
cupsdIsAuthorized: requesting-user-name="guest"
and not cups ???

please help me       thanx   Matthias
