[Casper] Allow Non-Admin Users to Add Printers in Leopard

[Miles Leacy]

Rather than follow the instructions at the given link, and deleting these
lines, I would add another group to these limit statements.  You could use
"staff" or if you need to keep certain people from messing with printers,
you could create a new group for this purpose.
I wouldn't delete the statements because that's a sledgehammer approach to
the problem.  Instead of giving out a key to the proverbial gate, deletion
tears the gate from its hinges and allows anyone and everyone in.

You can find & replace text using sed.  I'm not great with sed, but I did
develop a script through trial & error to perform this task on another
config file.  I'll pass it on when I get to the office today.
