KDE Print Manager - SuSE Pro 9
Hello - When I run the Print Manager in KDE 3.1.4, and make changes to, say, a driver, then try to "test" print, I get asked for a password. It also asks for the same if I just "finish". It says something to the effect that "The access to the requested resource on the CUPS server running on localhost (port 631) requires a password". No matter what account or password pair I use, including root, it won't accept it. Why is this happening and what password is it looking for? Thanks- Dan

Says to run as root to reset the password. BUT, what is the username or group supposed to be. When I run it, it complains that user "root" and group "sys" do not exist. Dan

user 'root' _does_ exist. How can you run the command as root if root does not exist? and the group 'sys' is created by the install. look at: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/09/jsmeix_print-einrichten-90.html su to root, then: lppasswd -g sys -a root and you will be asked for a password. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org
