How to enable printer function :"Allow Anyone to Cancel a Request" on HPUX?

[Romeo_Lou]

Dear ,
Somebody can tell me how to enable printer function:"[ ] Allow Anyone to Cancel a Request" after printer is added to hpux 11.0.
Because I have three printers and work well, but I want to add another adm focus lp, so I need to modify the printer configuration on HPUX to "Alow Anyone to Cancel a Request"
Many tks.

lpadmin is the only way to create a remote printer with cancel controls. You'll have to delete the printer(s) and add them back again with the cancel option. Another way is to give the lp user a password and have the users use su - lp and issue the cancel command as the lp user. Of course, the users will be able to make other changes to the spooler as lp, so this may not be an option.

Dear Bill,
I know I can reach my goal by remove the exist printer and then create again with "Allow anyone to cancel a request", but I wish somebody can tell me another way to reach it! Becasue I think that way is not efficiently;
And I have create new user under lp group, but still can't cancel other guy's printer job! message as below"request "xxxx" not cancelled: not owner"

Only option I can think to do this securely would be to set up 'sudo' and allow users access to the 'cancel' command. You can get an already compiled version here:
