I already do enough house calls. 😝 As for teaching him, I did but he continues to do so. 😟

I'm not sure if this setting will do it, but you can try.

Go into the CUPS interface, http://127.0.0.1:631 and click on the Adminstration tab. Check this box:

When you go into the CUPS interface for the first time, it asks you to run a command in terminal to enable the web interface. It gives you the command.

If that doesn't work, then there is likely some other CUPS configuration that would allow him to do that, but I don't know what it is. This will likely tell you: http://127.0.0.1:631/help/policies.html

Sweet. I hope this works in Mac OS X 10.8.2. I wonder why Apple disabled it.

For some reason, I can't seem to save settings on Mac OS X 10.5.8 on another MacBook Pro. I even tried rebooting. FYI:

Actually, this is only for cancel. What about pause abd resume?

Like I said, I don't know how the rest of it works, but that second link discusses things like pause and resume. You'll likely have to edit the cups config file, which it lets you do in that interface.

Darn. Thanks. 🙂
