How override password for printer?
I stopped printing a long run by shutting off my Deskjet960c by pushing the start buttion on my printer. It was OK to do this on winxp but I guess not on linux-suse. I am running SuSE Pro 9.2 with just the basic (first time) updates. The result of shutting off the printer the way I did, was to put the print job as "queued". When I click on the print icon on desktop and get KJobViewer it shows the print job as queued and then I clicked "remove". And the result of that is the printer is turned off, And I cannot get it back on. I try fix it by start button (bad word)-> utilities -> printing ->printing manager -> and on Configure Printing Manager I click the column to right of "add" named "printer" and on the drop down menu click on the first item "start/stop printer" then click "start printer". Then I get the Authorization Dialog to enter user name and password. I have tried every combination of user names I have ever used (two) and every password I have ever used (three) and none work. Each time I get the message: Authorization KDE Daemon, authorization failed. After several tries I get the Error message: "Error - KDE control module: unable to modify the state of printer deskjet 960c. Error message received from manager. You are not authorized to access the requested source." I must restart computer to be able to try again. I have repeated this process several times. Short of re-installation, is there any way to remove that user name and password? Is there a "correct" way to turn off the printer when you don't want a long print run to continue? Thank you for helping. Andy

Do both your users just to be safe.

Stan, thank you very much. It works fine now. Question: Is there a "correct" way to stop a long print run once it has started? Please let me know so I don't mess up again. Really appreciate your help. Andy

Andy, I have that same printer and haven't run into this before. I don't know if it makes a difference though, but many times I'll pull up the print manager to remove the queued job, then either let the printer flush out it's buffer or turn it off after. I don't think you really did anything wrong, I just think you caught things at a bad time during the printing. regards, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "He's not my brother, he's just heavy." ........Bucky Katt

Lee, Have you ever stopped a printer while it was printing? How? Andy

Turn it off, pull the power plug, etc. IF the job is still in the print queue on the computer/print server, then you can pause it or delete it there. Whatever made it over to the printer will still print. Once the print job is in the printer's cache then you need to know the magic button sequence of the printer to delete the currently printing job. I know the power button will clear the cache quite nicely. Sometimes the power switch is the only way to stop an out of control printer/print job. Most printers do have a key sequence to halt and/or delete the current print job. Stan

Sure, just as I described above. Again rather than stop a page in mid-stream, I'll clear the job out with the print manager and let the printer buffer clear itself. But I have turned the printer off first, clear the job from the queue, then powered up the printer again. Either way should work effectively for you, but it's important to clear the CUPS printer queue of the job, because it will continue to send jobs to the printer until all jobs are exhausted. I have KJobViewer, for the printer, on my desktop to quickly get to the queue of jobs. You can also hunt down Printing Manager in the menu: Utilities>Printing>Print Manager regards
