You may be right. I'm a CUPS novice, not expert. But, from somewhere, I had
concluded that noone, not even root, would be allowed by CUPS to admin CUPS
until their user name had been added to the lpadmin group.
I'd love to know if that's true or not, for myself. Do you factually know if
my previous suggestion/statement is true or false?
Have you set CUPS up?
(If true, currently, then maybe the Debian CUPS installer should add root to
the lpadmin group as part of the CUPS install procedure?)
