Perfectly reasonable. I was thinking like a SysAdmin for a large

also share resources.

I'm trying hard to remember whether I've ever had to do so just to
restart the printer. TBH, I don't think I have. Although it strikes me
as a little odd that a "mere user" can start & stop the printer,
potentially causing problems for other people in the process.
All very puzzling. :-x
