I get a message to put in my username and pasword. I have only used a couple of usernames and basically one password for everything, but this site doesn't like any combination I can come up with. Now what?
Hi Doug, Here's what I think may be a related item from my personal 'hardware tips' archive:
As root, in a console run "lppasswd -a <username>", resulting in a prompt for a password followed by a prompt to verify it. The password must be 6 characters long and must contain at least one letter and one number.
Then, as that user, connect to the cupsd admin port, http://localhost:631. (It is not necessary to restart cups after creating the cups account for this user.) Click on "Printers", black button along the top row of the page. Find the appropriate printer, and click on the "Configure printer" button; you will be prompted for a username/password, which you have just added with lppasswd. Once you are authenticated, confirm/adjust your printer settings and click "Continue" to finish the task.
