Printers that sleep. Whatever next? :-)
Seriously, other than admin, users shouldn't even *know* the root
password.
I'm reasonably sure that if you add the wife's user account to lpadmin
group, her own password ought to work to be suitable to wake up the
printer. This is based on the fact that my UID is in the lpadmin group
and I can use that ID & password for administering CUPS. It's worth a
try, and a lot safer than giving her the root p/word.
