Making a laptop a cups swerver seems like a really bad idea. Laptops are
designed to move around onto different networks that would have
different pronters. As far as I know adding a pronter requires root
permisions although sudo may loosen that restriction. As far as I know
cups permissions on a cups server are limited to that server.
