you do not have to use 'root' to administer cups, you *have* to have a password generated by lppasswd.

the man pages *really* do help. If you still do not understand after consulting the man pages, ask specific questions.
Actually, Patrick, I had already consulted "man lppasswd" before I replied. I find this man page, like almost every other one that I have visited, pretty inscrutable for a non-technical person like me. The logic seems to be circular: only root can add or change a password, but logging in as root or using sudo or su does not help me add or change the PW, because I don't know the PW that I am changing from. Whatever PW I am changing from, it is not the root PW nor the PW for my UID. If I have to have a PW generated by lppasswd, how do I get one if I don't have one to begin with, or don't know what it is? Thanks for your patience. Kelly -- Kelly J. Morris <kjmlists@comcast.net>
