I don't know how to determine which version of CUPS is in use. Whatever came with Suse 9.3, I assume, unless YaST updated it along the way.
come on, you've been using SUSE/openSUSE linux for a long time.
rpm -q cups
Of course it should have been obvious that rpm would lead to the version. The version it reports is 1.1.23-7.6
lppasswd is your problem
man lppasswd
I have read man lppasswd but I don't know what to do next. It would appear from the error message that the username is doug, but it says on localhost, and the man lppasswd refers to cups, not localhost, or am I still missing something? If I go to KJobViewer, I can delete everything queued but KDE Print System and KDE Print Test, which are owned by root. If I could find those files in a directory (where is it and what's it called?) I might be able to su and delete them also, and then maybe the system might work, I don't know.
or search the opensuse list archives. It has been mentioned/described *many* times.
