Comment 28 for bug 96454

@Till Kamppeter and Christoph Langner:
The commands suggested by Till don't work with "sudo". They do work, however, when you first create a root account with "sudo su" and run the commands then, als root. That is how I did it with my Laserjet 1018 and it works flawlessly now (with Gutsy).

Strange that "sudo" doesn't work, though. This is the first time that I encountered a root command that cannot be executed with sudo.
