Hi John,
try to run CUPS as user root instead of user lp. Change the following lines in file “/etc/cups/cups.conf”
User lp Group lp RunAsUser No
<Location /admin> AuthType Basic
Restart CUPS. Now you are able to login as user root, which hopefully fixes your problem.
Regards,

Server running SuSE 10.0, CUPS 1.1.23, run mode 3
Trying to administer CUPS from workstation via port 631 and Firefox browser.
At server command line, I've set up lppasswd -g sys -a john and added a password.
In browser, connect to http://server:631/admin, enter user name and password and am allowed in.
However, I can only add printer and class. Anything else results in error 403, Forbidden. What is causing this message and how can I get round it, please?
Many thanks
John
Can you view http://localhost:631/printers
only as 403 Forbidden
changing cups.conf to: User root Group lp RunAsUser No <Location /admin> AuthType Basic then rccups restart seems to make no difference to the situation
