I should hope not. That allows you to define who's a system user who's
allowed to configure things. Compared to the rest of the users who're
just allowed to use them.
Well I am very confused. I decided to delete all printer
definitions
and start from scratch using the cups web administration process to add
a printer. Once added, I went to the HP Device Manager and it had an
icon for the printer but said that it could not be connected. I then
switched users to "root" and using the HP device Manager it showed the
printer connected with icons for options to scan, print or fax. One
thing that I did find peculiar is that it asked for a user id/password
when adding the printer. I tried to use my local user id/password but
it would not accept it. It seemed to be in a loop and kept popping up
asking for user id /password. I finally entered root and password which
it accepted.
