what privilege to assign for user to cancel or disable print queue?

OS Version: Sun Solaris version 9

Other than root, we need operation to manage printer queue by using following command:

lprm -P
cancel
enable/disable

What privilege should be given?

Pls advise.
Thank you.

You can modify the given logins and assign them the Operator profile:

pfexec usermod -P Operator <login>

Where <login> is your usernames' login.

An alternative is to install sudo as in a regular Unix and configure the sudoers file to allow some users the execution of that binary files.

Regards,
Leandro.

The shell isn't finding the real path to the command. Try:

Code:
pfexec env usermod -P Operator sysopr

Or find 'usermod' in /usr/ directory and type the full path.

Thanks for the reply.

After issue following command, no error message shown.
/usr/bin/pfexec /usr/bin/env /usr/sbin/usermod -P Operator sysopr

However, still encountered following error. How can I confirm the above command execute successfully?

hostname:sysopr> lprm -P ans_p5215 7918
ans_p5215-7918: permission denied
