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?
yes, you are missing something. From 'man lppasswd':
DESCRIPTION lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (username), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX userâ names.

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.
did you try KJobViewer as root ?? Root would own root's jobs.
As root, cd /KJobViewer no such file or directory
or search the opensuse list archives. It has been mentioned/described *many* times.
not tried, not interested ????
There are only three communications, and they did not seem helpful. Used Google: opensuse list archive lppasswd I am kind of desperate here. The XP machine may be down for the count, and the only thing sort of working is this Linux machine which I cannot print from, for no obvious reason--it was working fine, even tho only with the color printer, and all of a sudden, blooie! Is there anyone that anyone knows on eastern Long Island, NY that might be able to make this thing work? I suppose that I could wipe and reinstall, but I have about 4 MB of data--from this list--that I would like to keep, and no CD or DVD writer on the machine, and I'm a bit worried about trying to add one while everthing else is in flux. --doug
