<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> If you run firefox (or other browser) with gksudo, can you currently access the printer config page?  If so, how bad of a solution would it be to include a script labeled "Printer Config" which opens a browser to the config page with gksudo? The CUPS admin page is pretty good for installing printers and it's already installed. If the security issues could be addressed, I'd rather use that than install more software. </blockquote></div> I think for now the best way is to document how to enable the CUPS web interface which is disabled for security reasons, and use that for adding a printer. I heard it is easier to use in cups 1.2 than it was in 1.1 Jani
