I run SuSE 9.0 professional. I can use YaST to configure my printers with no problem, but I am having trouble using the web interface (eg. localhost:631).
Whenever I try to perform an admin task it gives the the standard netscape basic authorization dialog, but does not accept the user name/password for root or other user. In /etc/cups/cupsd.conf I have: ## Anonymous access (default) AuthType None
Did you remember to run the lppasswd command as stated in the release notes? Probably not. Cups is now more secure and has/requires it's own auth method. Run lppasswd -g sys -a <user to add> and supply a password. That user will be able to make modifications to cups. Ken
