Thank Patrick, lppasswd seems to have done the trick. What I did: "lppasswd -a root" then entered root's password.
but you didn't read/heed the man file: SECURITY ISSUES The lppasswd command is installed setuid to root. While every attempt has been made to make it secure against exploits that could grant super-user priviledges to unpriviledged users, paranoid system administrators may wish to disable or change the owner ship of the program to an unpriviledged account. I would have used root with a different password.
I was then able to login to CUPS and change the paper size from A4 to letter.
Glad to have helped. btw, you can still change the root password for lppasswd to something else. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery
