Configuring CUPS to allow all users to (re)start printer

[Kjetil Kjernsmo <kjetil@kjernsmo.net>]

Hi all!

My parents have the problem that the printer sometimes stops itself for 
various reasons. It is easy enough to restart it with the KDE print 
system, just go "Start Printer" (or something like that). The problem 
is, it asks for password, and unfortunately, it will only accept the 
root password. I'm not going to give them root access, (the terrible 
mess they would do with a root password...), but they shouldn't have to 
call me every time the printer stops... 

Instead, I'd like to allow all local users to restart the printer if it 
stops, but I haven't find anything concrete in the docs to do that, and 
while I found it easy enough to set the printer up with CUPS, it isn't 
actually very transparent when you need to do something a bit more out 
of the ordinary... :-)  

Anybody know how to do this?

Best,

Kjetil
