I have reset the password but i never see anything asking to login. I have tried this from the server it self an remotely from my workstation. Like I say it was working fine up until this week. Being able to do admin on cups server from any point in the building is very nice an keeps me from having to go to server room an going into yast an seeing what the problem is. At times my users report that they can not print. I login to cups an find that the printer is stopped. just restarting it normally fixes the problem. If someone can help me solve this I would be happy again. On the problem of finding the printer stopped on stumped on why its doing that too.

Why not use ssh to connect to the box and then use lpstat -t to show the status of all the printers. If one is stopped start with /usr/bin/enable <printer_name>. Did you use lppasswd -g sys <admin_name> to reset the password? Was there a possible syntax error when you reset it? Also try rccups restart to see if that helps. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998
