However, the install instructions say I must add the user and password to cups. Here is part of the install instruction and am not sure that is required to make it work. ----------------------- Note for SuSE Users: If you are using a later version of SuSE than version 9.0, set the password for CUPS using the lppasswd command:#lppasswd -g sys -a root This requires you to enter a password that is used specifically for CUPS administration. -------------------------- I cannot see or find where to do that.
On an xterm as root. This is necesary to access <http://localhost:631> and configure printers from there as root.
Thanks John, Carlos Did that in a root console. Should have mentioned that. Got a malformed url reply. If it ever accepts that, will it then ask me to provide a user name and password? And, is that even necessary to make the printer work? I can access localhost:631on his machine and the printer shows up there as properly configured. It does not ask for a password. I can even send a "test print" from there and the printer shows a waiting in queque, "waiting 30 seconds to try again" On my own 10.3 I can access localhost:631 and print and change things as a normal user, but it is an epson. I wonder if changing it to a parallel port instead of usb would work. It worked in Windows as usb. Shouldn't make any difference what port it is plugged into, should it? Think I might see it with a hwinfo ? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
