Shalom,

You give them sudo powers of the lp commands for example lpsched

I'm assuming a working knowledge of sudo.

To cancel a print job you need access to the 'cancel' command located in /usr/bin.

Hi:

> How do I allow a normal user to cancel any print job

You also have the ability to define a print queue's job's as "cancelable" by any user. See the manpages for 'lpadmin(1M)'.

You need to connect the aliases. At this point sudo doesn't know user1 or user2 it knows the alias USER. The last line should read:

USERS ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/cancel

I would never specify a command be run without the user entering a password.

That's just me.

If this posted multiple times I'm sorry. I just kept remembering other stuff and tried to stop it mid submission.

You need to connect the aliases. At this point sudo doesn't know user1 or user2 it knows the alias USERS and the command alias PRINTING. The last line should read:

USERS ALL=NOPASSWD PRINTING

I would never specify a command be run without the user entering a password.

That's just me.
