<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I'm assuming your using Leopard which
is when the OS started requiring system level access to add and remove
printers and the owner of a job is the only one(without being an admin)who
could start/restart/stop or cancel the job. That being the case I
have had succes editing the cups.conf file. Here is the excerpt from
the conf file that requires editing or you could just comment the whole
thing out. As far as recommended reading, just open a browser and go to
127.0.0.1:631(localhost:631) and check out the documentation/help tab.
Or go visit the cups.org website.</font><br><br><font size=2 face="sans-serif"> # All administration operations

to print.</font><br><br><font size=3>Somehow this stopped the print que.</font><br><br><font size=3>When the print que is stopped and a student attempts to
print they can add the job to the que or start the que, etc.</font><br><br><font size=3>Now that the printer is back online, when some students
attempt to print, they get that same dialog box asking if they want to
start the que or add the job to the que.</font><br><br><font size=3>However, and action they take requires an administrative
password.</font><br><font size=3><br></font><br><font size=3>So ultimately, the question is, what is the easiest way
to resolve this issue?</font><br><font size=3><br></font><br><font size=3>P.S. - Can you confirm my understanding of print ques:</font><br><font size=3>(A) The print que is the engine that manages print jobs
and sends them from the user to the printer. It is a computer-level (not
a user-level) process.</font><br><br><font size=3>(B) The state of the print que (stopped, started, paused
etc), is a setting that is stored at the computer level, and would affect
anybody (any account) using that computer</font><br><br><font size=3>(C) The print job, is the actual document being printed,
and is stored at the user level.</font><br><font size=3><br></font><br><font size=3>Assuming A & B above are true, </font><br><font size=3>(i) anybody who logs into at a computer 1 which has a
que that is stopped, will not be able to print.</font><br><font size=3>(ii) If the user moves to computer 2, their job will print
(without being sent again).</font><br><font size=3>(iii) Once the que is resumed on computer 1, when students
with pending jobs log in, their jobs will print</font><br><font size=3>-- I am not sure if items (ii) and (iii) happen automatically
or the next time they initiate a print job</font><br><font size=3><br></font><br><font size=3>P.P.S. - Can anyone recommend a good resource on how printers
work in OSX that can help clear up these types of issues?</font><br><font size=3><br></font><br><font size=3>
