[opensuse] Cups password
Hi, On a Suse 10.1 machine I have a printer that is stopped and I need a password to start it again. I can't remember the password though. How can I reset it ? Or where is the status information stored ? The printer does work, it's a networked printer and via another machine it prints. I restarted CUPS several times, cleared the queue (deleted all files in /var/spool/cups). The printer remains stopped. Should I try rebooting ? Thanks for any help. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong

The password are stored in /etc/cups/passwd.md5 or similar. You can remove it and enter another one (command lppasswd). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I have to confess that it seems I never added a user/password, because passwd.md5 didn't exist. I added a user now and I could restart the printer. Thanks. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Koenraad Lelong
