I can not seem to get the right search string to work to get the info I need to add myself as a administrator so taht I can admin cups server from webpage. I had it setup in past before I redid the server. I access it with http://192.168.0.200:631/printers an get the error message below when I try to restart or stop a printer. You don't have permission to access the resource on this server.
I know I need to add myself as user to be able to admin this but I forget what I need to do. been too long since I did it.
thanks

Hi Jack,
edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file and go to the <Location /admin> section. You could specify a group there, which members are allowed to make administrative changes. Here is an example for the group members "sys"
Just use lppasswd to add your name as an admin. There is -no- need to edit cupsd.conf. lppasswd -g sys -a <name> Enter password twice and you are set to go. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
