[Casper] Add printers without admin rights

[Leacy, Miles (US)]

There is still a printer utility in Leopard.. Its in /System/Library/CoreServices, I believe.

I have not done this myself, but I have read of people putting a symlink for the printer utility into /Applications to allow users to add printers.

I believe modifying the /etc/authorization file, whether via package or script, ought to allow you to grant functions that belong to admins by default to any user, group or everyone. If I recall correctly, afp548 has a good article on /etc/authorization.

Subject: [Casper] Add printers without admin rights 


We are currently rolling out Macbook Pros to mobile users that need the ability to add printers on their own when in not company locations. We are not wanting to give these users admin rights. Has anyone been able to produce a script or a package that will open up the ability to add printers sans Admin?

Thanks
