[K12OSN] remote CUPS administration

[Huck]

maybe you can use putty with an ssh tunnel to forward the 631 port for 
cups' web interface to her..and make a 'printeradmin' group that has 
access...and make a user within that group for her...?
with my librarian I actually gave her an account on the K12LTSP box and 
she could connect via one of the clients in the library and made a 
script that purged the que and enabled the printer...and placed a 
'laucher' on her desktop.

Sorry to be of so little help.
