Hi: I am trying to set up a printer using web min. However when I go to add the printer, it asks for the username and password. I enter root, then root's password. It then comes back and tells me Authentication failed. I have tried this while logged in as user and root. I have tried it using Konq. and also firefox still the same results. Can someone help me trouble shoot this problem. I am running SuSE 9.1 and KDE 3.2.2.Thanks for your help. - --
