I have read man lppasswd but I don't know what to do next. It would appear from the error message that the username is doug, but it says on localhost, and the man lppasswd refers to cups, not localhost, or am I still missing something?
yes, you are missing something. From 'man lppasswd':
DESCRIPTION lppasswd adds, changes, or deletes passwords in the CUPS digest password file, passwd.md5. When run by a normal user, lppasswd will prompt for the old and new passwords. When run by the super-user, lppasswd can add new accounts (-a username), change existing accounts (username), or delete accounts (-x username) in the digest password file. Digest usernames do not have to match local UNIX user†names.

The command needs to be run as root. You can do this either by logging in as root or simply use su to become root. The command is: lppasswd -g sys -a some_admin_username You will be asked to supply a password twice. Once this is setup you will need to use this supplied user name and password. And the some_admin_username can be anything you want it to be. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
