Open Directory Users can’t add printers

[kimonostereo]

Hi all,

I’ve set up my teachers on OD on OS X Server 10.5 but now when they log in, they cannot add any printers. I’ve tried many different things to get the lock on the Print & Fax System Pref to be unlocked by default but nothing I’ve tried works.

When I log into the computer as an admin, the Print & Fax is unlocked. Logging in as a user via OD locks it. I’ve checked to make sure that the users are not being managed via OD prefs. Even if they are the lock still appears. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

thanks!

Thanks for the reply!

I have an admin account on the host computer but I’d prefer the teachers at school not know the password for it.

I was going to add the printers via WGM but because they are USB shared printers, they don’t show up in the list.

Are there other methods you could point me to?

Thanks!

Just to clarify: do I change /etc/cups on the server side or on all of the client side of things?
