I'm trying to connect a network type printer on suse 9.2. When I got through the setup, everything seems to be correct until I try to test the page. Then it pops up and asks for a password. Tried the root password. Doesn't help. FWIW it's an HP 4100n with a jetdirect card. The printer does have an IP address, and WinXP finds it just fine. I'm missing something and have no idea what it is.

Perhaps we need to post this solution everyday! lppasswd -a <username> Supply password and use that username as cups admin. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989 SuSE since 1998 * Only reply to the list please*
