--------------------+------------------------------------------------------- Re #1018, you can kind of do this with sudo lpr -Usomeone -Pajax. You need
 to do this as root because LPR dates from the days when every machine on
 the network was trusted and we all ran NFS. In our environment we no
 longer trust that.

 LPRng has an allow_user_setting variable, but it seems like there's no way
 to set this to "everyone". We should see if there is or send them a patch.

 Of course, this is all using LPR directly to the Pharos server, and not
 via CUPS, so it probably won't work anyway.
