[cups] Allowing anyone logged onto the server to print without a password

[Johnnie W Adams]

Hi,

     Adding the user to the lp group had no effect.

~]$ /usr/bin/lpr -Pbiol11 foo

Password for **** on localhost?



     I can print but that user can't:


~]$ lpr -P biol11 foo

~]$ echo $?

0


Thanks,


     John A
