+8Hello,
We are having issues with Printers with them getting paused, they come into our tech office and we need to enter a password to get them resumed what is going on?
I would like to have the persons name to the bottom of the sheet of paper to know who printed what.
+17You can edit the cups file to allow users to unpause print jobs themselves without being print administrators (lpadmin)- this thread may help you

CasperSally is right, you will have to edit the cups file. had this issue with Leopard. did the name at the bottom of the page thing through WGM, but was still another problem when the students handed their work in. I am now using the following script with the cups edit. I cron it for every 15 mins ( yeah I know launchctl-but im old school), and it emails the lab tech if a printer was reset.:
#!/bin/bash
scutil --get LocalHostName > paused.txt
lpstat -p | awk '{print $2}'| while read printer
do
if sudo lpstat -p | grep disabled > /dev/null; then
cancel -a-
cupsdisable $printer
sleep 2
cupsenable $printer
sleep 2
echo $printer >> paused.txt
else
exit
fi
done
