Perhaps I'm doing this wrong, but I can't change print settings from

I can only change these settings if I login to http://localhost:631 and
change the printer default settings there.
Is this how it is meant to work - what are plain users meant to do?
PS. This is a networked printer.
Are the users in the correct groups? Mine looks like this:
root@fireball / # cat /etc/group | grep lp
lp::7:lp,dale,dale2
lpadmin:x:106:dale
root@fireball / #
There could be other groups that are needed but checking those are a
good idea too.
Thank you Dale, the lpadmin was missing. It seems I was being extra cautious
when I first set up cups on this machine a few years ago ...
Well, nothing worse than coming home to find out someone you don't know
printed a very large book. Naturally, it would be a book you have
absolutely no interest in reading. ;-)
Glad you got it sorted.
