Hello SuSE people,
I installed 10.3 on my son's computeerr today. He finally got sick of windoze. All is well except for his printer. It is an MFC3420C. One of those all in one things and is a couple of years old. Went to brother site and downloaded the driver and a cupswrapper and installed them successfully.
Followed the install instructions carefully and can see the printer in localhost:631. cups is not seeing the printer I guess because it is not printing.
However, the install instructions say I must add the user and password to cups. Here is part of the install instruction and am not sure that is required to make it work. ----------------------- Note for SuSE Users: If you are using a later version of SuSE than version 9.0, set the password for CUPS using the lppasswd command:#lppasswd -g sys -a root This requires you to enter a password that is used specifically for CUPS administration. -------------------------- I cannot see or find where to do that.
Help please? Step by step for the ignorant please?
