    Linux systems are all multiuser systems for the printing services are called print servers ... so yes they are connected.

    Depending on the distribution you are using, you might need to make such changes with the root user. With Ubuntu and those derived from it the default users are giving something called "sudo rights". This allows them to attain root access using the sudo command. Then admin changes would usually prompt the user for theh password to confirm access to sudo.... for ubuntu system. Other systems would require you to login as root.
