Firstly, it would be a good idea to find out why the printer is getting disabled. Perhaps there are failures printing jobs -- are they expected failures? Is the error policy as you want it to be? Perhaps 'Abort job' would be better than 'Stop printer' in your case. Once you've looked at that, if you still want to allow enabling/disabling a printer for specific groups of users, configure polkit. You can find out the polkit "action" you need to configure by looking at 'polkit -v'. In this case, here it is: org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.printer-enable: description: Enable/Disable a printer message: Privileges are required to enable/disable a printer, or a class. vendor: The openSUSE Project vendor_url: http://www.opensuse.org/ icon: printer implicit any: auth_admin implicit inactive: auth_admin implicit active: auth_admin_keep You might want to change the "active" policy (i.e. the behaviour for local active sessions) to "allow" for this action. The pklocalauthority(8) man page explains how to do this. There is some discussion of this relating to system-config-printer, along with an example, here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing/ConfigurationTool#PolicyKit_configuration Tim. */
