Hi list,

what happened??
when giving the above command as root, it says access to password file
is denied. I'm root...at the very local console!

lppasswd is suid lp, so it doesn't really matter which user you're logged
in as.

eh, now what?

chown lp /etc/cups

and please open a bug for it

Anders

Ooops.. sorry for not sending my answers and comments to the list. That
was an oversight.

If I go to

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_11.0/i586/

I see a pile of RPMs...
Do I simply take them all into a directory of my choice and hence go:

#rpm -Uvh *.rpm

I thought I could/should point YaST to this repo somehow - and then do
an update...

Sure. Go to YaST->Software repositories and click on Add, then select "URL"
and enter a name for the repo and the URL

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Printing/openSUSE_11.0/

Then click on OK, and Finish. Then go to "Software Management", select
"Repositories" from the dropdown on the left, then select your new repository
from the list, right-click on any package in it and select "All in this list-
update if newer version available" and then click OK.

Then the packages will get updated
