Hey ken I did that an it still would not let me administrate, start or stop the printers. I went in an added my machines ip address to the cupsd.conf file as being allowed to access it an it worked after that. I even started an stopped the cups service an it would not work. now need to add my boss so he can do it when im out of office. maybe he can accomplish it without calling me but who knows.
I have never needed to edit cupds.conf to admin cups. But then I always use kprinter or YaST to admin cups. -- 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
