lppasswd is your problem
man lppasswd
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?
Yesterday I sent you some links that explain all this in detail. The cups system uses different passwords from the linux system, and till you add a password a user is denied access to control the printer. Not even root can access till he has defined a password for cups for his use (different from the one for the system, preferably). All these passwords are defined using lppasswd.
If I go to KJobViewer, I can delete everything queued but KDE Print System and KDE Print Test, which are owned by root. If I could find those files in a directory (where is it and what's it called?) I might be able to su and delete them also, and then maybe the system might work, I don't know.
You do not need to know where are those files stored, nor would that help you much. You simply tell root to remove those print jobs, using "lprm" or the web interface in http://localhost:631/, as I told you yesterday. Try! I can't believe that you haven't used that interface yet in all this time.
or search the opensuse list archives. It has been mentioned/described *many* times.
Hundreds, probably. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
