Re: [Casper] Add printers without admin rights






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
