Require user without password

[Nico Schümann]

Hello folks,

I'm too dumb for the configuration of cupsd.

There is a terminal server with a priter, running cupsd.
Now only one user should be allowed to print -- buecherei.

My problem is that OpenOffice always freezes, because both with "buecherei" and with all other users, cups asks for a password when printin.

I would like to have a user restricton, meaning, buecherei is allowed to print WITHOUT password. All other users should be rejected without promting for a password.

How is that possible?

Following my cupsd.conf (probably wrong, because it does not work)
by the way: Because it's a terminal server, there are only local connections (firefox and OpenOffice running on localhost, either on "buecherei" or on "guest")

Thank you,
Nico
