today my sister was trying to print a file on the local printer and receives an error likes this :

lpr: error – unable to print file: client-error-not-possible

Investigating why she can’t print her document, Googling about it I’ve found many different things but none that applies to mine problem.

Ok, investigating ‘/var/log/cups/error_log’ I’ve found that cups were denying her access to that printer. Bingo.

Changing /etc/cups/printers.conf, looking for the configuration setup for that printer and adding

AllowUser mysisterusername

Does the job. Now she can print

I’m usign SUSE 10.X and cups to print.
