Resetting the LDADMIN group on 10.6.8

I'm trying to add or remove a printers on a 21" iMac 10.6.8.
I get a log in screen asking for the lpadmin username and password, witch I enter, but it tells me that the password is wrong.
I trying running the terminal command (dseditgroup -o edit -p -a admin -t group lpadmin) witch I've successfully used before to reset the admin group, but it says group not found.

I wanted to know if there was a way to modify this group through terminal.
If not I'll just install a clean copy of 10.6

I would appreciate any help on this thanks,

Dillon.

It didn't answer my initial question, but it was helpful in resolving part of my printer issue. I found that if you add the everyone group to the lpadmin group it will allow them to modify the printers.
