[Casper] non-admin printer access

[Bryan Vines]

Jeff,

I think a lot of folks are thinking that modifying the CUPS  
configuration file will allow users to add printers via System  
Preferences -- I know that's what I thought until I started reading  
deeper.

I have discovered if you want to give users quick access to adding  
printers, instead of sending them to a print dialog, you can place an  
alias to /System/Library/CoreServices/AddPrinter.app in their dock or  
on their desktop.
