How can my users unpause a printer without admin login?

Everytime a printer goes into a paused state it requires me to login as the admin for the que to unpause the printer.  Any ideas?

Hi!
Disable printer queue password requirements for 10.5 (works also in 10.6.8):
Mac OS X 10.5 requires you to enter an administrator's password to pause/resume a print queue, where no previous version of OS X has done so. This is extremely annoying in a lab setting -- if there's a paper jam or something, the queues on all the computers need to be restarted by an administrator, instead of the user just clicking Resume. I haven't seen a solution to this elsewhere, so here's what I came up with:
1. As root, or in a Terminal session with su privileges, edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.
2. Find this section:
Limit Pause-Printer Resume-Printer Enable-Printer Disable-Printer Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job Hold-New-Jobs Release-Held-New-Jobs Deactivate-Printer Activate-Printer Restart-Printer Shutdown-Printer Startup-Printer Promote-Job Schedule-Job-After CUPS-Accept-Jobs CUPS-Reject-Jobs>     AuthType Default     Require user @AUTHKEY(system.print.admin) @admin @lpadmin     Order deny,allow</Limit>
3. Remove the items you don't want limited: Pause-Printer, Resume-Printer, Pause-Printer-After-Current-Job, etc.
4. Save the file, quit the editor, and restart your computer.

You can also do this in a webbrowser on localhost:631 (127.0.0.1:631)

  • How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original administrator password?

    Hi guys,
    I use a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. A few months ago I reset my administrator password and have not been able to remember it since. Consequently, I haven’t been able to do any software updates, my computer is running slow and I'm getting a lot of pop-up junk on my screen. I’m the only user on my computer, apart from the Guest User (Sharing only).
    How can I reset my administrator password, without knowing the original password?
    Thanks.

  • How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?

    How can I reinstall Safari 8.0 without disturbing anything else?  I have OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite & Safari 8.0 (that comes in it) installed on a MacBook Pro laptop and a Mac Mini tabletop computer. I want to access internet banking which goes without problems on the laptop but does not work on the tabletop. The latter says "somebody tried to display the application in a frame..." whatever that means and obviously for safety reasons I can not start banking it always comes back to the screen with this warning. I tried Mozilla FireFox on the tabletop Mini and everything works fine including the banking. A Mac expert suggested something is wrong with the Safari settings and I should reinstall it. How do I do this without reinstalling the System? Would it suffice to wipe out the Safari Preferences and start anew? I am looking for somebody's advice more experienced than I am. Thanks!

    Hello isza41,
    Before you try to do any uninstall/install stuff let me suggest you something:
    Create a new user and check if the same happens within its account. You could do so by going trough the following steps:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
    Click the lock icon to unlock it, then enter an administrator name and password.
    Click Add below the list of users.
    Click the New Account pop-up menu, then choose a type of user. - Standard user account would be perfect here.
    Enter a full name for the new user. An account name is generated automatically. To use a different account name, enter it now—you can’t change it later.
    Enter a password for the user, then enter it again to verify. Using a password hint is recommended to help the user remember his or her password.
    Click Create User.
    Now Logout from your account (⌘⇧Q) and Login to the one you have just created. This account is fresh without any changed settings(as a new instance would look like).
    Check if the same would happen and you would see if this is an issue with your installation or something more general.

  • How can I get it to print output of inputstream?

    Please forgive me for running two similar thread but the other thread ahs strayed from primal concern of coding.
    Some help with the code please???
    I have set up an inputstream and outputstream to the "ftp process" of java.lang.Runtime I have sent the command "dir" to ftp.
    But How can I get it to print all the files etc of the "dir" sent to ftp process?
    Also I have just read that it is perhaps better to buffer the STREAMS.
    How do I do this for outputsteam? I think I have some clue to do for inputstream with bufferedreader?
    import java.lang.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class RuntimeFTP{
    public static void main(String[] arg){
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    String[] callAndArgs = { "ftp.exe", "jaguar.wmin.ac.uk" };
    Process process = null;
    OutputStream os = null;
    InputStream is = null;
    String login = "w0109699";
    String password = "11041976";
    String dircommand = "dir";
    byte[] barraylogin = login.getBytes();
    byte[] barraypassword = password.getBytes();
    byte[] barraydircommand = dircommand.getBytes();
    try
    process = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
    process.waitFor();
    System.out.println("Process exit code is: " + process.exitValue() );
    catch(IOException e)
    System.err.println("IOException starting process!");
    catch(InterruptedException e)
    System.out.println("Interrupted waiting for process!");
    try
    os = process.getOutputStream();
    os.write(barraylogin);
    os.write(barraypassword);
    os.write(barraydircommand);
    catch(IOException io)
    System.out.println("io exception write to outputstream");
    try
    is = process.getInputStream();
    while (is.read() != -1)
    How can I print the data to the user
    i.e all the data obtained from the "dir" command sent to ftp?????????
    catch(IOException io)
    System.out.println("io exception read fron inputstream");

    the above code does not work so I have abondaned it.
    I want to integrate an ftp program into a program I am working on. I have scoured the net for reuse able code and come across a "t or Linlyn ftp program" which claims is easily integrate able into larger applications.
    The problem is did does not seem to work and gives me errors. I would be grateful if someone could tell me why I am getting the error, here is the error:

    I would also be grateful if someone could try out the program and tell me if it works for them, then I could determine if it is because ftp clients are being blocked by my server. The ftp program is very small, here is the url:

    1) compile the code
    2) fill in everywhere it requests "your-server" "username" and "password"
    3) to run appletviewer t.java

    Thanks.  I do not have the experience on burning discs from iMovie for the movie after editing (ie for video discs players).  It seems that i cannot find the relevant command in the tool bar for this purpsoe.  Would you please show me the way?
    The command is gone because iDVD has been discontinued by Apple. After Apple discontinued iDVD they removed the iDVD burning link from iMovie. I still use iDVD sometimes, only because I have an old copy.

    You have mentioned about Handbrake as a converter.  What is the RF no.

Again, what is the best rate?  Furthermore, which format is more suitable or the best: H264 or mpeg 2/4?
    I don't know what RF means. When I have used HandBrake, I've used presets that apply to what I want to do, so I don't know the meaning of each individual setting. However, it appears that many of them are listed in the HandBrake User's Guide that is linked from the Help menu in the program:

    For iMac, except iMovie, what other software is the best for the amateur?  I have read Photoshop.  Can this support m2ts files and user friendly?
    Photoshop is not amateur-level software, and although it can edit a video, it cannot burn a DVD. Unfortunately, because I still use iMovie, I haven't tried anything else. You might want to read the reviews of various DVD-burning applications in the Mac App Store.

    How can I use the Creative Cloud without having a Credit Card? Why are there no other possibilities?

    Hi @DRB1961, 
    I do not think the Zeen will work if you no longer have the C510 printer. The printer is necessary to ensure the Zeen is up to date. The Zeen is simply not a standalone device, it is a component of the printer.   I can not say this with certainty that it will not work, so it is worth trying to reset the Zeen to finding out for sure.
    When you see this message, "must dock the Zeen to the printer to continue", can you access the settings using the 3rd icon above the touch screen? If so we can do a factory reset, if not there is no other way I can think of to bypass this message.
    I just tried a reset on a Zeen I have access to, after the initialization, it prompts me to attach the Zeen to the printer to continue with product setup. it appears my original speculation was correct. No, you can not use the Zeen without the printer.

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • How can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it into the computer or restoring it or resetting any data?

    I went I to my phone and I tried to unlock my passcode but it did not let me in, how can I reset my lock passcode without plugging it onto the computer on iTunes, or restoring it or deleting any data ?

    You don't. The only way to remove the passcode if forgotten is to restore the device. If you have a backup, you can restore to that last backup, but anything done since that last backup would be lost.Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

  • How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?

    How can I manage six email accounts WITHOUT them all appearing (twice) in the Folders column?
    All I need is ONE INBOX (like Windows Mail used to do) ...
    I can see in the 'Account' column of each message which email account it's using.
    Then, I either junk or read the message, followed by delete or file to one of my created folders.
    As it is, half my page is depth is taken up by 12 lines of Account names !!!

    That still leaves SIX lines of Account names down the side. All I want is ONE INBOX ... (I can see which account each message belongs to in the 'Account' column...)
