Hi,

I want users to be able to add printers without filling in the administrators password.

I did some research and found out that I just need to remove the following lines from the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf:

<Limit CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer CUPS-Delete-Printer CUPS-Add-Modify-Class CUPS-Delete-Class CUPS-Set-Default>
    AuthType Default
    Require user @SYSTEM
    Order deny,allow
</Limit>
<Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Restart-Printer$
    AuthType Default
    Require user @AUTHKEY(system.print.admin) @admin @lpadmin
    Order deny,allow
</Limit>

Does anyone know I can remove these lines with a bash script? I don't want to replace the file by making use of a package.

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

Martin van Diemen
