CUPS Administration
The web based admin tool prompts me for a name/password. I use to be able to type in root and my password, but it doesn't accept it. My user id and password doesn't work either. I didn't see anything in /etc/cupsd.conf (other than references to Authorized Groups). Can someone tell me how to set root access for cups? Thank you. Barry

Barry If I remember correctly, go to a command line and as root type this: lppasswd -a root
It will ask for the password and then type in your pw. There was a thread recently on this but I forget the subject. HTh, Richard

Go to http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/index.html. Search for CUPS. The relevant article is " Printer Configuration from SUSE LINUX 9.0 on". Vince

Check /usr/share/doc/packages/cup/overview.html. It has the info regarding adding anyone using lppasswd. Ken
