Did you happen to manually modify any of the cups files in the image
(cupsd.conf)?
They made some significant changes to managed printers in 10.5.7.

Are the computers PPC based and not Intel?

There was a issue with PPC updates to 10.5.7 with /etc/authorization and managed clients.

Also, non-admin printing support in 10.5.7 http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2762

Intel machines... All of 'em. I'll check out those KB articles. Thanks :)

I haven't made any modifications whatsoever. This was a clean 10.5 install from disc, then update to 10.5.7, then turned into deployable image. I've been reading things here and there about /etc/authorization modifications, but I haven't done any research past that yet.

That's interesting as according to Apple's KB, this should only happen to 'improperly modified' /etc/authorization files...

I think the KB John was referring to is: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2762

Yeah, my issue occurred on a clean, unmodified install. Weird.

...sent from a mobile device.

Not to mention, all our machines are Intel...

How are you all getting this to work? I just spent the last two days
troubleshooting a stupid launchd item that a combo update fixed!!!
ARRRGGG!

Now I want something to work as intended! Do you guys have log in hooks
that run that for each user, or could you say just modify that code to
add that level of access to the staff group, since every user is a
member of staff, or would that be like a huge security leak?

Thoughts?

Thanks!

Ok I think I am going to have a new approach.

I am think I am going to give the _lpadmin group full privs since every
user seems to be a member of that group, anyone tried this out yet with
a mobile account?

Thanks,
