Hi,

I am creating a macOS application which supports 10.12 OS & above wherein we provide an option to user to create or delete print queue based on the inputs.

And we are using following commands to provide this functionality

Add Print Queue
lpadmin -p printerID -D queueName -E -v deviceURI -P PPDFilePath -o printer-is-shared=false

Delete Queue
lpadmin -x QueueName

Below mentioned Entitlements are added in the application
App Sandbox
com.apple.security.network.client
com.apple.security.network.server
com.apple.security.print

Observations:
It works well on all supported OS (10.12 - 10.15) in non Sandbox environment

It fails to work only on 10.12 & 10.13 OS on enabling Sandbox and we get error in console as
"Sandbox denied authorizing right 'system.print.admin' by client '/usr/sbin/lpadmin' "

So let me know if any additional entitlements are to be included to support this functionality.

Thanks,
Ranjith Kumar G
