I found this bug-report while looking for a way to solve a related problem; allowing users to cancel print jobs in the Linux Mint 12 Gnome System Settings -> Printers dialog (the 'stop' button was there but had no effect).
I noticed null owners in lpq and took a guess that without access to the owner the 'Printers' dialog permission for the stop couldn't be verified. In any case, changing the Policy default in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf in a similar way to that suggested by Jörg (and restarting cupsd) allowed all users to cancel their print jobs. <Policy default> # Job/subscription privacy... # JobPrivateAccess default # JobPrivateValues default JobPrivateAccess all JobPrivateValues none ... Unless this is a coincidental fix, I'd expect cancelling print jobs to work with a vanilla installation which seems to imply the apppropriate cupsd.conf settings are not the current default ones. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/904093 Title: lpq reports Owner "(null)" and File(s) "untitled" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/904093/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
