You need to use root credentials to make changes using localhost:631 unless you add your user to the right groups.
Ken Schneider You haven't been reading the mail. I can open CUPS, I can (maybe) modify the printer characteristics, but when I try to do so, CUPS asks for a user name and password. I put in the only username I ever use--doug-- and the only password I use on the computer, which I use to boot up and to activate an admin function with su - CUPS says forbidden. If the computer thinks I have a different user name, how do I find out? And I'm pretty sure it won't tell me the password it's expecting, but I'm damned if I'm going to change that, since I need it all the time. --doug

OK, if that's the case, how do I find out what the epson wants to see for a definition? It certainly did not want to see any of the definitions I tried. Maybe I issed something, but if you fire up the CUPS menu (localhost:631) , select the printer -> maintenance -> change default values, there are drop- down menus for each value.... You missed that he gets not authorized. Thank you Carlos - root does either not work?
