Hi all, apparently this bug slipped through and got closed as installation- report although the request hasn't been fulfilled as far as I could see. To tell a long story short; the first created user should be made member of the lpadmin group to make sure printers can easily be created through the CUPS webinterface http://localhost:631/. I've installed several Wheezy laptops for friends and everytime I was testing printing through the webinterface, it took me some time to realize that the user first had to be added to lpadmin. I think it's unnecessarily complicated and should be done straight away for the first user. (straightforward) Patch attached.

Answering to that quite late, but I do agree it should be done. Cheers, OdyX
