Allow all users in a Mac to add or remove printers

I have always wondered who was the brilliant engineer in Apple that decided it was a good idea to need Administrator access to add or remove printers on Mac OS X. Well enough of that draconic rule. I am going to show you how easy it is to allow all users in a mac to add or remove printers.

This will put “everyone” on the Mac as a lpadmin which will allow them in return to add or remove printers.
