In a roundabout way it does. I blame it on the extremely excessive
security paranoia that pervades the linux environment and gets worse by
the next release every time.

FYI I am a member of the lpadmin group. Whats next? reboot to make it
take effect? That involves restarting at least 20 other things this
machine does on a 24/7/365.25 basis. Not impossible but a bunch of
drugery nonetheless. IOW since I am "it" till I fail to answer roll
call, likely in the visible future since I'm already equipt with plastic
yeys and a pacemaker and am presently 84 yo, lets swat this once and for
all till then.
You have made it very clear not to assign a pw to root, do everything
with sudo. In which case lets make sudo work since its only used about
20% of the time now. From the cli TBE. But we've been configuring cups
from localhost:631 for well over 15 years now, no one wants to try and
remember all the arcane text phrases used with lpadmin to configure
anything as complex as even a 100 dollar brother b&w laser printer. I
have all the brother drivers here for both printers, the other is a
brother MFC-J6920DW, which is found 4 times by lpinfo -l -v. But it has
both a usb cable and a net cable at its own ip.

I have this page visible in FF right now, and its typical for linux docs,
it makes the assumption that everyone has what I assume is a group of
env vars so it doesn't waste a crossed t or a dot over a lowercase i to
explain just who or what @LOCAL or @ADMIN or @SYSTEM or @OWNER actually
is.
So lets define them so one can have an idea at least of who or what they
represent. Once they are properly defined, maybe I can put them to some
usefull purpose. At the end of the day, I want them to Just Work. So
lets start with the denial even though I am a member of the lpadmin
group.
Thank you.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
