Problem solved.  I reset the printing system on the iMac and it fixed the problem  I can print again.


> I am new to using Ubuntu and CUPS and need help.
> I have a iMac running OS X 10.5.7.  Connected to this iMac is a Epson CX6000 printer via usb.
> I installed Ubuntu on a laptop and then I installed CUPS on the laptop and it is working fine.  My username on the Ubuntu machine is "carl".
> The problem is that now I can ONLY print from the Ubuntu machine.  No one is  allowed access to the printer when they sign on the iMac.  We cannot add it.  When I try, it gives me the "user not authorized" error.
> As a test, I set up a new user on the iMac with the name "carl".  This is my username on the Ubuntu machine.  Lo and behold, the Epson is available for me to print from the iMac.
> How do I fix this so all users who sign on the iMac have access to the printer?
