Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1./usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <printer> -u allow:administrator 2. 3. Actual results: Other users of printer(s) have problems so that the applications using printers (staroffice/openoffice/firefox...) get no more a printer list, so no more print is possible. A command "lpq -P printer" complains with: "lpq: Unknown destination ..." Expected results: The apps get a printer list Additional info:Modifying "administrator" to "administ" is a workaround.
When setting the list of allowed users to 'administrator', only the user 'administrator' can perform operations on that printer (such as viewing its job list, printing a job, cancelling a job etc). It does not show up in the job list for users other than 'administrator' by design. If your user is named 'administ' then that's what you need to put in the allowed users list. (FWIW, 'administrator' works as designed here with a local user 'administrator'.)
If the list of allowed users consists only of the one entry "administrator", i understand that nobody else can use the printer, but: Seems you misunderstood me: the same happens if the list of allowed users is __ending__ with administrator, for example: /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p <printer> -u allow:user1,user2,...,administrator Then none of the users user1, user2,... can print to the printer.
Works here. cups-1.2.12-5.fc7
