Package: kdeprint Version: 4:3.2.2-1 Severity: normal
my users, whom i have not given permission to change any printer settings for obvious reasons [they will only break the settings], cannot reset a CUPS printer after it goes wrong. looking in the cups.conf file, i note that the printer's status is changed to "Status: Stopped". i have been looking for a way to reset this and i cannot do so without going in as root and manually editing this file and changing it to "Status: Idle". this is a bit of a mehr. i am reluctant to give users full access to destroy print jobs, add random printers and generally dick about with the useability of the printers. i cannot _quite_ believe that there is no way for them, however, to reset the printer. or, for that matter, for the printer to automatically sort itself out [e.g. try again] what is the solution? l. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux highfield 2.6.6-selinux1 #5 Tue May 18 16:33:29 GMT 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages kdeprint depends on: ii enscript 1.6.4-3 Converts ASCII text to Postscript, ii gv 1:3.5.8-31 A PostScript and PDF viewer for X ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.3-1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-5 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-8 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0-5 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-6 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0-5 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0-5 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0-5 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-5 X Rendering Extension client libra ii poster 20020830-2 Create large posters out of PostSc ii psutils 1.17-17 A collection of PostScript documen ii xlibs 4.3.0-5 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-3 compression library - runtime
