What print server are you running? (lpr, lprng, cupsys ...) Most of them have a way to grant permission to groups of users. If all else fails, you can always add users you like to the 'lp' group so that they can write to /dev/lp0, but that may not be the most elegant solution. >I can not access lists.debian.org for some reason. lists.debian.org is down due to a server crash, I'm afraid.
