Adding Or Removing A User From The Administrative Group; Creating Virtual Devices; Before Creating Virtual Devices; Creating Virtual Devices Using The Device Manager - Lexmark Dot Matrix Manual

To change the administrative group name, run one of the following scripts:

# /usr/local/lexmark/setup.lexprint
Solaris and HP-UX
# /opt/lexmark/setup.lexprint

Adding or removing a user from the administrative group

Users who are part of the administrative group can open the printer driver with permissions and perform
administrative tasks. Users who are not part of this group can only change their personal settings and maintain their
printer groups. User settings are stored in the user's home directory.
Add users to the administrative group by adding the user's name to the Administrative group located in
the /etc/group file. For information about changing the Administrative UNIX group name, see "Changing an
administrative group name" on page 16.
Remove a user from the administrative group by removing the username from the UNIX group.

•
For network printers—the host name or IP address and the SNMP community name
•
For local printers—the connection type (parallel, serial, or USB) and the physical device file name
