CUPS wiki
Why it isn't clearly stated in CUPS wiki you need to be member of 'lp' group to print? Maybe it's not necessary for all setups, but for me it is. Or am I missing something?

Re: CUPS wiki
I am not a member of that group and I use CUPS to print on my office printer just fine... I haven't spent too much time trying to get my laptop to work with my home printer yet so I might run into this later.
Edit: Feel free to add a note that you may need to be in this group though. The wiki will only improve if people contribute what they find missing.

Re: CUPS wiki
There is no need to be a member of 'lp'. If you had to do it and wanted to make a note of it, it should be go under a sub-topic, such as Troubleshooting or Tips & Tricks---NOT in the general instruction.

Well I think so. Last time I installed CUPS it worked without 'lp' membership. But now it didn't work out. I have no idea why. I just went through logfile and found mentions of access denied kind of error so tried this and it worked. And I found hardly any clue on Goolge what's wrong. Just followed CUPS wiki as always and it didn't work prior to 'gpasswd -a dante4d lp'.
