[Gllug] LP jobs owned by root, so CUPS can't cancel them.

[Mailroom1]

Afternoon Tom,

I think that what you are looking for is in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.  The
comments starting at line 250 (on my version) refer to Filter Options and
the User and Group settings are commented out.

Hope this helps

Roy Drinkwater

have Windows, Mac OS 9 and Linux clients too.
