If you run "sudo sudoedit /etc/printers.conf" you are effectively
running sudo twice.  It is the same as running "sudo sudo -e
/etc/printers.conf".

To allow a user to do "sudoedit /etc/printers.conf" you need to use
"sudoedit" in /etc/sudoers, not /path/to/sudoedit.  Ie: you don't
specify the path.  This is because sudoedit _is_ sudo so there is
no real command to be run.
