Well, the password thing seemed not to have worked. When I went to the print manager, and it asked for a password, it burped and said it didn't recognise the pw. I gave it the pw that I put in in the lppasswd dialog, that you provided above.
And the same user you gave it? It doesn't need to be root.
Check the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf for who is allowed access. It has comments.
From root: linux:etc # cups/cupsd.conf bash: cups/cupsd.conf: Permission denied
For instance:
AuthType BasicDigest AuthClass Group AuthGroupName sys
## Restrict access to local domain Order Deny,Allow Deny From All Allow From 127.0.0.1

Well, I think the trick was the cups reset. Something seems to have hung up, somewhere. It also didn't help that I changed the physical printer to another of the same kind, with an obviously different serial number. And a certain amount of black magic--iow, I got lucky. Something is wrong with the color rendition, but black comes out black, so that will do for a while. I still don't know how to get the LaserJet to print. Someone suggested setting it up as a different type (LJ4, for example) but I don't know how to make SuSE forget that I installed it as a 2200D. So thank you for all the folks that tried to help, and some of you did. There are obviously a bunch of things I still don't understand, like why I got a "permission denied" on cupsd.conf from root. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
