I'm having a problem with accessing this via webpage. It was working up until last week. now when I try to logon an do admin task I get the following error Forbidden You don't have permission to access the resource on this server. I try accessing it from the server own console an over the net an get the same thing. Can someone point to something that might have changed that is keeping from accessing it. thanks, I'm at a lost. I even reset the password for the user name an it just does not ask for it at all. thanks. jack
To create an user to manage cups: /usr/bin/lppasswd -a cupsadmin and set the password! where cupsadmin is the cups administrator the user for administration can be anything! In my case is cupsadmin Regards, _________________________________________________________ Lawrence Ferreira AIX, HP-UX and SuSE Linux Enterprise Server Administrator LINUX User (openSUSE-10.0 & SLES9) #271016 LPIC-1 - Linux Certified Professional kevin.kempter@dataintellect.com wrote:

In short lppasswd -g sys -a root (or any user name) man lppasswd will give you the answer -- Regards, Graham Smith
