http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614779 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=614779#c18 --- Comment #18 from Johannes Meixner <jsmeix@novell.com> 2010-06-17 15:42:50 UTC --- FYI: What cupsd responds if file:///dev/lp0 is used: --------------------------------------------------------------------- burns:~ # lpadmin -p testy -v file:///dev/lp0 lpadmin: File device URIs have been disabled! To enable, see the FileDevice directive in "/etc/cups/cupsd.conf". --------------------------------------------------------------------- The error message is sent by the cupsd (in the CUPS sources in scheduler/ipp.c) and forwarded by lpadmin to stderr so that it should have helped Ludwig to see the actual cause of failure if the message was also shown by system-config-printer. I have no idea why authentication with user name "root" and root's password doesn't work and therefore I guess that the authentication as root did actually work but system-config-printer might just retry the authentication in case of any error? -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
